HELP =/: Dual Admission & Preferred Admit Program?

<p>Hi, I am planning to Early Response U. Michigan and was wondering if I could do both dual admission and the preferred admit program.</p>

<p>For dual admission, i would go into school of Arts & Design and school of LSA.
For preferred admit program, i would go into Ross School of Business.</p>

<p>1) Is this do-able? (I think I remember reading about having to earn the dual degrees at the same time, but that won't happen if I go into Ross school -- or does it? I'm so lost)</p>

<p>2) If I get rejected from one of the schools, do i still have a chance at the other?</p>

<p>3) Does rejection from preferred admit program earn you a rejection from the undergrad schools?</p>

<p>4) Would this scenario cost a lot more, since it seems that U. Michigan gives little financial aid? (I'm low income, so it would be a problem)</p>

<p>5) If this is technically possible, it is physically possible? Would there be too much work or time constraint? I was planning to perhaps get a degree in design or architecture-related degree and complement it with business degree. How many years of study would this take, assuming I pursue business up to MBA? (Design/Architecture would either be my backup career or main career, depending how my business career would look)</p>

<p>THANK YOU for reading! And if you can answer ANY of my questions or can provide relevant information/suggestions, PLEASE do so; it will be greatly appreciated =)</p>

<p>Anyone know? =[</p>

<p>1) I don't know if it's possible to do, but I don't find it wise to do. If you did negotiate a dual degree between LSA and Art and Design, once you move to Ross, they too would have to sign off on it, if you intend to double (or maybe triple) count any courses. It's just... not wise. If you are accepted into all three, you would have prerequisites to take during your freshman year before final acceptance into Ross. You may not have time to take many Art and Design courses. I just wouldn't do it, not preferred admit.</p>

<p>If you can wait until during your Freshman year, after you've consulted with the advisors on campus, I'd STRONGLY suggest that.</p>

<p>2, 3:</p>

<p>Each application is reviewed separately and there are many possible outcomes. You will receive more than one admissions letter if you apply dual enrollment or pre-admit.</p>

<ul>
<li>If you are accepted into the School of Art and Design and are rejected by LSA, you will NOT be able to enroll in Ross as a pre-admit (You MUST be accepted into LSA for that to happen -- Art and Design is not one of the qualifying schools.), but may re-apply during your freshman year. (However, you would probably have an interesting conversation with an advisor on taking the prerequisites required for Ross while you're enrolled in the School of Art and Design.)</li>
<li>If you are rejected from Ross and are accepted into LSA or Art and Design or both, you may attend one or both of those schools.</li>
<li>If you are rejected from the School of Art and Design and accepted into LSA, you may attend LSA.</li>
<li>If you are rejected from LSA and are accepted into Art and Design, you may attend Art and Design.</li>
</ul>

<p>4, 5) As the courses for these degrees would probably not overlap, it would end up costing more because you would be attending longer.. Especially once you begin paying upper division (>= Junior Standing) costs for your classes. If you intend a masters in Business (MBA), and I am not even including the extra time it may take to earn any undergraduate degree from Art and Design or LSA, you are looking at... 6-9 years. (4 in undergrad, no less than 2 in graduate.)</p>

<p>Thanks you so much! You've answered all my questions thoroughly and you have put my mind at ease, at least for now regarding this school. Really, thanks for the help.</p>
