<p>To any current or former UM Students, what's the lowest GPA that you've ever heard of getting into Ross? I just applied and I'm concerned that my 3.41 just won't cut it... despite having really strong essays and EC's. I also took a lot more challenging classes than my Prospective-Ross Peers....</p>
<p>So what's the lowest you've heard? Were there any special circumstances for why he/she got in with it?</p>
<p>KyleTwentyEleven told me that he got into Ross with a surprisingly low GPA… I want to say 3.1 or 3.2, but I don’t remember for sure. I don’t think he had any special circumstances, but he told me he bombed Calc and he was a marketing major, so Ross probably cut him some slack for that.</p>
<p>I know one 3.2 but that’s a fluke. You need at least a 3.4-5 to be competitive pretty much. Above a 3.65-3.7 is much better. Still gotta write good essays and be involved.</p>
<p>^maize is pretty much right. I think the best way to word it is that unless you have over a 3.5 GPA, your GPA will start to hurt your overall application. If you don’t have over a 3.0 you have a 0% chance. However, I don’t think that Ross differentiates at all between someone with a 3.7 vs someone with a 3.9, at that point it’s all about your other two parts of the application (ECs, essays). If you have lower than a 3.4 you better have damn good essays and ECs or else you have no chance. </p>
<p>Pat you’re not completely right about my stats but you’re close enough. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.</p>
<p>Yeah, I heard from one of my essay readers, who has worked with Ross Admissions, that as long as you have over a 3.0 you should be fine if you have a great essay. But as expected, I’m sure your essays must be amazing.</p>
