<p>the fact that ur going for ross make it that much harder.</p>

7

<p>can anyone chance me though? and do I have a higher chance of getting into NYU cuz I'm in state?</p>

<p>I am surprised to hear from you guys that it is so hard to get into UMich OOS. Based on myself, I would have said you were defintely in. (I just found out two days ago I got accepted to U of M--but I am in state). I did not take the subject tests, but from what I saw those look good. Your extra cirriculars are fine...just don't ramble. I talked to an admissions conselour when I was doing my app and they hate long lists. Pick your best 6 and develop growth within those, rather than 20 things. (and leave out stuff u know is meaningless and havent done with passion). ANYWAY, I say you are def. in to U of M (did you apply early response)? Do realize, however, less than 1% of Ross' entering class are from preferred admit. It is extremely hard to get in preferred admit. Nonetheless, you have a shot. Good luck!</p>

9

<p>p.s.: anotherasian said it's harder cuz ur applyitng to ross. Michigan admits you into LSA (pre-business) college BEFORE htey review your Ross application. So..technically the type of preferred admit has no advantage OR disadvantage into actually getting into Michigan</p>
