Honors -> Hopefully ROSS!??

<p>I have been accepted to LSA undecided, but I know I want to go into business/ross.</p>

<p>Is it worth it to go to Honors for freshman year and apply to Ross? Or is it better to stick with regular LSA and apply as a regular student, not an honor's student?</p>

<p>Honors, sounds more challenging then regular, is it worth a few points off of your GPA and then apply to ross? (Is it a better chance for you when you apply to Ross since you would be in more challenging classes?</p>

<p>Or should I just stick with regular LSA and get a great GPA and apply to Ross?</p>

<p>Also, this question is regarding ROSS: I am not a preferred admit, but I read around CC and people stated that there is still a chance for a non-preferred admit to be accepted to ROSS for sophomore year. What do I need to do, as a nonpreferred admit, to appall the admissions officers at ROSS to accept me? Good GPA is a start, what else do they look for? What else should I do?</p>

<p>Most of the students admitted to Ross are not pre-admits, they are admitted after freshman year. If you were accepted to honors, then your chances of getting admitted to Ross after freshman year are decent.</p>

<p>I don’t think you should assume that your GPA will be higher outside of honors because the average grades in honors classes are often higher than non-honors classes. If you are interested in what honors has to offer, you should pursue it. If you are not interested in honors, I would forego it.</p>

<p>To appeal to the Ross admissions, take the required pre-reqs and a well balanced and challenging schedule and get a good GPA. It is little like LSA admissions - take the most challenging schedule that leaves you with a good GPA. Also look for extra-curricular opportunities that give you leadership opportunities - there are a lot of them.</p>

<p>@res ipsa, wow, thanks a lot! You really answered my questions.</p>

<p>Just a few more ;)</p>

<p>Honor students generally have higher GPA’s, I am more intrigued lol. What are the benefits of honors? I read something about Great Books with honors, can you tell me more about that?</p>

<p>Also, I am not good with college terminology and I have a feeling college class codes are going to make me confused. Can you tell me pre-req ROSS classes that are challenging/looks good for ROSS admissions?
This year I am taking AP gov’t (expecting a 3), AP Art History (expecting a 4-5), AP calculus BC(expecting under a 3). </p>

<p>Last question: How similar are extracirricular activities in college compared to EC’s in high school. I definitely want to be involved with a club or two regarding business. Possibly join a fraternity, which others should I look more into that will help for my admissions for ROSS? I really want to get into Ross!</p>

<p>I really appreciate your feedback. I’m lost in this college thing haha! Good Night from NY!</p>

<p>You don’t have to cap lock Ross. As in, please stop cap locking the word Ross. Thanks.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t assume you will get a higher GPA in honors; on the other hand, I wouldn’t assume it would be lower. </p>

<p>As for your questions on honors, there are a lot of good threads on this board on the topic. I would search for those and see what they have to say.</p>

<p>With respect to your questions on ROSS, you can check the ROSS website for information. [BBA</a> - Stephen M. Ross School of Business](<a href=“Bachelor of Business Administration | Michigan Ross”>Bachelor of Business Administration | Michigan Ross)
I think you need to take ECON 101 and a CALC class.</p>

<p>There are a lot of organizations. You will find out more about it in the fall. I thiink it is more important to find an organization that you are interested in and will give you a chance for leaderhship involvement than one that looks good to ROSS. I question whether joining a fraternity will have much impact on a ROSS application unless you get involved in the leadership of the fraternity.</p>

<p>Good luck with getting in to ROSS. I like the cap lock thing. I will have to try it some more. ROSS ROSS ROSS</p>

<p>Hey Parth, you’re not going to make up extracurriculars for your Ross application like you did for your CommonApp one? That’s surprising…</p>

<p>Hey, how do you know if you are a pre-admit??? Is it stated anywhere in wolverine access?</p>
