<p>Okay I am a junior in highschool and I was trying to decide which colleges to apply to that have the best business programs. I just have a few questions about the Business school. I would greatly appreciate if someone could answer them.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Does Kenan Flager require that you apply directly to the school when you are a senior or do you have to get into the school first, wait a year or 2, and then apply? </p></li>
<li><p>If they accept as a highschool student, what type of grades would they be looking for? And if they accept you as a college student, what type of grades would they be looking for?</p></li>
<li><p>How much work is assigned every night? I guess we can measure in hours. Just generally, I wanted to know if it is a stressful program with a ton of work or more laid back and chill about stuff</p></li>
<li><p>If I don't get in to Kenan Flager but I want to TRANSFER in later on, hard hard or easy would it be to do that? </p></li>
<li><p>Do you have to be a student at another business school to be able to transfer or could you transfer from a place like... Johns Hopkins..... like at the end of the day, my MAIN concern is that: </p></li>
</ol>

<p>If I wasn't cut out for any of the top business programs after my senior year when I apply to colleges, I was wondering if it would be better to apply to a better school with NO business program, or a more mediocre school that DOES have a business program, and then transfer to a better one later. </p>

<p>A good example would be John's Hopkins vs University of Wisconsin-Madison. JHU doesn't have a business school but it is an excellent school, but University of Wisconsin-Madison isn't that great of a school but it has a decent business school. So would I be better off transferring from a place like John's Hopkins or Wisconsin? (Assuming I get the same grades and take about the same courses)</p>

<p>I’d suggest you read the Kenan Flagler Undergraduate Admissions website. It answers in detail the majority of your questions. </p>

<p>At a high level, you do not apply directly to Kenan Flagler. You must be accepted by UNC first. There are several KF pre-req courses you will need to complete prior to acceptance to KF. Students typically apply to KF in the sophomore year or, after a semester if you are a transfer. The exception to that process is the Assured Admission Program (again read about it). </p>

<p>A good rule of thumb for any major at UNC is 3 hours outside study per week for every 1 credit hour you are taking per semester. If you can get away with less is really dependent on you.</p>

<p>The whole concept of going elsewhere and transferring, while possible, is not a good strategy. Develop a solid HS track record, apply and get into UNC, get good grades here and get accepted into KF (about 50% of applicants get accepted).</p>
