<p>Finding good professors:
* I don't know right off hand. I'll ask my advisors tomorrow. I'm sure some students can chime in here about places where reviews of professors can be found. (Wouldn't CC be one such place?) I'll try to post some type of description of this process in my blog soon.</p>
<p>Analytic classes:
* I'm talking about anything in which numbers are analyzed and manipulated. This could be a math class, a physics class, an econ class. Really, anything at all. Business doesn't involve serious conceptual abstraction like a number theory or group theory class, but it is a requirement that you be able to manipulate numbers, handle complicated (and unclear) problem descriptions, and be able to analyze lots of numbers and ratios. So don't feel like you have to take some upper level physics class to get into Ross. Far from it. But don't think about business as something akin to English where you can get by without having a certain comfort level when working with numbers.</p>
<p>I have a question. Is it possible to apply to Ross at the end of my sophomore year? Will my chances be hindered due to the fact i'm already a sophomore?</p>
<p>Yes, you can apply to Ross at the end of your sophomore year. We will read your application as if you were a sophomore (which you would be). We would expect that you would have taken more advanced classes than the average freshman --- so we're not going to directly compare you with freshmen.</p>
<p>There's not a whole lot of room to go up from a 3.6 GPA average, but it sure seems we are seeing the beginnings of a megatrend that is destined to change the face of Ross forever. Frankly, the Ross folks are making some excellent decisions and the "buzz" has increased about the PA Program and the top notch new facilities. I can't see how Ross won't be more competitive in the future, even after taking into account the factors Mr. Moore noted into consideration.</p>
<p>Granted, increasing the class would open up some room, but it seems like you're seeing unprecedented demand increasing that will cause Ross to be more selective and comprised of higher quality students.</p>
<p>In the long run you might guess that's what we're hoping it will get more competitive. All I was saying (in waaaaaaay too many words) is that it's too early to tell and certainly too early to worry about.</p>
<p>I use ratemyprofessors sometimes, but you'll notice that all professors are either very good or very bad according to that site. The people who comment on the professors are those that had strong feelings (either good or bad) about him/her.</p>
