<p>Dear Julia,</p>
<p>Congratulations on your admission to the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan! We began reviewing your application for Preferred Admission to the Stephen M. Ross School of Business soon after your recent admission to the University. Because Preferred Admission is extremely competitive, we review each application thoroughly. As a result, we must provide you with a formal decision about Preferred Admission at the end of April. </p>
<p>You may wish to know that more than three-quarters of Ross BBA students enter the program by applying for Regular Admission to the BBA Program during their freshman year at Michigan. The admission rate for University of Michigan freshman applicants, while still competitive, is considerably higher than for high school seniors. If admitted this way, you would begin the Ross BBA program as a sophomore in the Fall of 2014, the same time as this years Preferred Admission students. Please visit our website for details about the requirements and application process.</p>
