<p>I got accepted to lsa but I want to do finance at Ross starting my second year. What factors do they take into consideration? What's the average stats of a Ross admitted student? If I don't get in my for my second year can I apply again the following year?</p>
<p>The stats are online. If you want to have a good shot at Ross from LSA, you should have at least a 3.5 GPA with a strong EC and good essay. Of course, the higher your GPA, the better your chances. </p>
<p>You can apply after your Sophomore year should you not get in the first time, but since Ross is a three-year program, it will take you an extra year to graduate.</p>
<p>The admit rate for second year is about 30-33%. If you get a pretty decent GPA (3.5+) to be safe, although a 3.3-3.4 with very hard classes also work, then you should be fine. Admission really falls heavily on kickin’ butt in the pre-req classes (calc, econ esp.). Make sure you get at least a B+ in those classes. If you don’t get in the second year, you can reapply again, but remember - it’s 3 year program. So you’ll have to stay after a year. At this point, I wouldn’t recommend it (there’s always other alternatives to doing finance).</p>
<p>As a BBA myself if you don’t get in you might want to consider Econ or something else and an MBA (unless you were thinking BBA then Law). I applied from LS&A after two years when Business was a two year program and it was hard a long time ago, min B+ to get in. At that time we had a ton or transfers from places like GRCC, Michigan Tech, Kalamazoo College. In my year I would say about 10-20% were transfer students which made business school interesting.</p>
<p>beechw00d, you must have been at Michigan more than 10 years ago. In recent years, only 3% of Ross students transfer from other universities.</p>
<p>Alexandre, i understand junior standing is the best time to apply for a transfer to umich. So I was wondering if I went to another college for the first year and took about 30 credits, in addition to advance standing credits from a levels (about 30), would I be in a good position to apply for Ross transfer? I would be able to complete my undergraduate degree in 4 years in total right?</p>
<p>No, if you complete two years at another university before transfering to Michigan, it would take you 5 years to graduate since Ross is a three year program. </p>
<p>Also, transfering into Ross from another university is highly unlikely. Like I said above, only 3% of Ross students are transfers from other universities.</p>
<p>But the thing is I already have about 30 credits from taking a level subjects in high school that can count into the 120 credits needed for graduation… So I will only need 1 year in college to
achieve junior standing</p>
<p>It does not matter, to get a BBA from Michigan, you have to complete three years at Ross, regardless of how many credits you earned elsewhere. Ross is a three year program, without exception.</p>
<p>Yeah I understand that, but that means that I still can complete my undergraduate in 4 years right because I stand a higher chance applying as a Ross transfer w junior standing by only completing 1 year of college at another institution and then another 3 years in Ross. Am I correct to say that?</p>
<p>Sure, if you only complete one year at another university before transfering to Ross, you will only need 4 years to graduate.</p>
<p>Alexandre - I wish it was 10 years ago. It was in the 1980’s before Ross was Ross. We had a bunch of outstanding transfers to Bschool and getting in from LS&A was pretty tough. I think our class was around 200 students. But since the Bschool was a 2 year program it was an attractive for juniors to transfer from schools like Kalamazoo College.</p>
<p>That’s what I thought beechw00d. In recent years, the BBA option has become so popular at Michigan that the program will only accept very few students from other universities.</p>
