<p>Hey guys, I'm wondering if High school grades are part of the evaluation for REGULAR admission. I heard they were for a couple of years because a lot of people applied, but do they still do it? What are the chances they will do for my class (class of 2015)? </p>
<p>I heard that this year, Michigan tried to admit less people in the the class of 2015, because they over-admitted for the class of 2014. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this make regular admission for the 2015 class easier, since I bet Ross still plans on having a the same class size as previous years. </p>
<p>Well, that sure was a lot of questions, so thanks for anyone who answers!</p>

<p>I am not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if high school transcripts are part of the evaluation? If so, then the answer is a resounding yes. With the exception of community colleges and less selective colleges and universities, high school grades tend to play a major role in admissions. That is especially true at Michigan, where the university places most weight on grades and less weight on standardized testing.</p>

<p>Infinit, although the entering class will be slightly smaller (by 500 or so students), there is a pretty good bet that it is also going to be slightly stronger. As of now, all indications point to Michigan having the largers applicant pool in its history…by quite a margin. I heard that Michigan is anticipating between 33,000 and 35,000 applications. As such, the quality of students admitted and enrolling will be higher and the competition for Ross will remain high. Last year, Ross admitted 25% of pre-admit applicants. They had a mean unweighed GPA of 3.8, a mean ACT of 33 and a mean SAT of 1492 (M+CR). This year should be as tough if not tougher.</p>
<p>Sorry, Alexandre. What I was trying to say was whether Ross looks at High School transcripts for those who are applying as a freshman already at Michigan, not for pre-admit.</p>
