<p>I would have picked Ross over Wharton :/</p>
<p>Alexandre those SAT's would be of the prefered admission of 2010 freshman?</p>
<p>harvardman - hardly insane - statistically the odds I bet are almost exactly equal betwen Ross admission (early) and Wharton. And that was my point, not which school was better (in your mind or otherwise). Probably ought not leap to conclusions like you did. Now that this is clarified, any comments to make? And I have been called a lot of things, but insane is not one of them (if we met in the working world you would have likely a degree of apprehension that comes with money and power). Tread carefully, son.</p>
<p>Yes Guapocarlos. I have seen the stats of roughly 15 pre-admits. All of them were in the 3.8-4.0 GPA range (unweighed) and 2100-2400 SAT range. Only one had an SAT below the 2100 range.</p>
<p>so it's easier to get into Ross after your Freshman year?
and what do they mostly look at when you apply after your Freshman year?</p>
<p>I was accepted as a Ross Pre-Admit. I still need a 3.3 to be guaranteed a spot. The mid-point GPA for students applying after their first semester as a freshman is 3.6. This includes urms. So, my guess is you will need a 3.5 or better to have a decent chance to get in as a freshman applicant. Other than GPA and the rigor of your courseload (which must include Calc 115, Econ 101 and English 124 or 125 or Honors equivalents), I'm not sure what else they look at.</p>
<p>I understand that Econ 101 is fairly difficult and that A's don't grow on trees there.</p>
<p>It's just strange to think of how they do this...
It's not for academics that I was rejected. Thus, one more year wouldn't really prove anything, would it? </p>
<p>I'm getting worried.</p>
<p>Well, competition was quite stiff. I talked to the someone in the admissions office over there and she said for those pre-admits they gave a lot of weight to the additional essay/statement and the person's interest in business. Maybe, despite how strong you were academically, your business side didn't come through as well in your writing? The essay stuff is subjective, you never know what will grab them. Things may be a little different when they're filling out the rest of the class.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure that I got in becuase of my business interest in my essays. Because my SAT scores are under 2000 and I had a 3.8, not really blow the world stats away. But I created my own web business so I think that must play a part.</p>
<p>For Ross PA, they seem to be looking for grades, test scores, AND business experience/evidence of entrepreneurial bent. I'm sure they would like diversity also.</p>
<p>They only took around 50 students for Ross PA. Thats a very select group. Most incomming students will get in via the nonpreferred process, next winter. </p>
<p>So unless you had a 4.0 and 2200+, you had no shot at PA.</p>
<p>And Michigan's BBA program was ranked #1 by recruiters (WSJ poll). I would trust the view of HR professionals who have seen the quality of a Michigan student over the various business school deans who most likely have no real clue about the quality of most BBA programs.</p>
<p>Can you predict the acceptance rate for the rest of the class of 2010 next year?</p>
<p>For Ross or for all of the undergrads? For Ross, nobody knows. For all of Michigan, I'd say that at the current rate, 28,000 applicants, 12,000 admits, so we are talking 43% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>You definately can get (or got) in with less than a 4.0 and a 2200. Two people from my school got in (one guy, one girl). They have no business extra-curriculars...they kind of decided randomly that they wanted to do business. Their main EC is student government. She is vice president of the school and he is treasurer. She had a 4.0, but I know he was around 3.7/3.8 (uw...not Mich). They only took the ACT and I know for a fact they were not over 30. </p>
<p>On a side note...they found out fairly early that they had gotten in.</p>
<p>That's another factor, I think. I applied really early, but somehow my application wasn't reviewed until well after the first round of decisions had been made; I found this out when I called sometime in February. I figured it was because my application was forwarded to the business school significantly later than that of the other admits?</p>
<p>I get this nagging feeling that they filled up all the spots early on, and then pretty much rejected everyone who they reviewed later. I mean, has anyone gotten in via the second round of decisions?</p>
<p>This is all just me trying to rationalize this...so it probably has no basis whatsoever.</p>
<p>your app may have been reviewed later if your teachers/counselors took forever to send in your recs or transcript or something. I don't think admissions would be dumb enough to take everyone who looked OK at the beginning and then realize, oops, there are better people applying later but all the spots are filled up! We just dont have all the answers my friend.</p>
<p>I received my acceptance to the Ross Pre-Admit in April in the second round of decisions. I applied in about mid-October.</p>
<p>I applied late September and was admitted to LSA in late October/early November. If decisions were made on a rolling basis, that still doesn't explain why my application wasn't reviewed until after February.</p>
