<p>Hi everyone. Please please read!</p>

<p>I'm supposed to transfer to UNC this fall. I'm a Business Administration major and I plan to apply to Kenan-Flagler School of Business.
As you might know, I have to spend one semester in the College of Arts and Sciences and in the meantime apply for admission to K-F, which is highly competitive. </p>

<p>I need to satisty the business prerequisites during my first semester. In my particular case, I'll have to take:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>ECON 410--Some advanced Micro-Economics class involving Calculus, model-building and God knows what else</p></li>
<li><p>BUSI 101-- Accounting for Management</p></li>
<li><p>STOR 155-- Statistics</p></li>
<li><p>MATH 232-- Calculus II</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I've always been an A student, good in Math alright but no prodigy. </p>

<p>Considering that do you HONESTLY believe it's possible to pass these classes taken all at the same time with A's and B's? I know GPA and performance in classes are not the only factors, but they are probably the heaviest! </p>

<p>If I get a rejection from K-F, I dont know what I'll do. I do NOT want a back-up plan. I dont want to be an Economics major or a Management & Society major, or any other path people there take when they get rejected.</p>

<p>I feel so confused. </p>

<p>If I go to UNC I'll be taking a huge risk. But if everything goes well and I get in K-F, the pay-off will be marvelous. </p>

<p>If I dont get in K-F, I'll have lost the opportunity to go to another Business school in a university that accepted me in my state (Florida International University) with A LOT less reputation than UNC but still with a very good business program and guaranteed entrance to the Business school.</p>

<p>What should I do?? What would you do??? I have asked so many friends and family for advice with so many mixed opinions that I honestly dont know anymore, I'm about to cry.</p>

<p>Considering that UNC is academically pretty rigorous, and that’s a pretty math heavy load…it would be rough on anyone who is not a math whiz. </p>

<p>To be blunt, I do not honestly believe you’d be able to handle the load well. Not only is it a math heavy load, and you mentioned you’re not amazing at math, but you’re also adjusting to a new and more rigorous school. Considering how determined you are on your major plus judging by your even making this post means you’re having some doubts, I would NOT recommend UNC for you since you are so dead set on what you want to do. </p>

<p>Sorry for being harsh, but I figured that’s what you’re looking for.</p>

<p>Saphire,</p>

<p>I wrote a pretty long response here, but I’m editing it out because this is a public forum and I believe what I have to say is better served in private so check your PMs.</p>

<p>I hope it helps.</p>

<p>Thanks so much to both of you for reading my rambling :)</p>

<p>BarkingatHeels: Don’t apologize! I do have doubts :confused: and I appreciate your honesty very much. Honesty is what I asked for. I love your nickname by the way, made me laugh.</p>
