<p>Your SAT is sort of low, but your 3.83 unweighed GPA is good. IS your SAT low because of the Writing section? How did you do on the Math and verbal sections of your SAT? What's your class rank? I can tell you right now that your chances at Ross are not good, but if you have a good class rank and a good SAT math score, I think you are a match for the college of LSA.</p>

<p>I got 750 on Math and 480 on R and 570 on W
and my school doesn't rank and I took sat today and hopefully my scores are improved</p>

<p>Your Math is good, but your verbal is low. It would help if this time, you raise it by 100 points. Like I said, your chances at Ross are slim, but your chances at LSA, especially if you improved on your verbal score, are reasonable.</p>

<p>I don't think I can apply to ROSS directly or can i?
under some kind of special program?
what I thought i was going to do is applying to LSA first and transfer to ROSS later..b/c that's what was saying on UMich website..most students apply to LSA and crosstransfer to ROSS in their junior yr</p>

<p>This year, for the first time, high school students can pply directly to Ross. But, as expected, it is going to be very selective.</p>

<p>Can you get into Ross as a Sophomore or Junior, like apply after a year or two at Michigan?</p>

<p>Yes, you can definitely get into Ross as a Sophomore. In fact, most Ross students in the forseeable future will first have to complete atleast 2 semesters in the college of LSA before applying to Ross.</p>

<p>I thought Ross was switching to a 3-year program, requiring students to either apply as h.s. students or as freshmen.</p>

<p>Could I concieveably go to another school for two years then transfer from there into UM and into Ross?</p>

<p>I think you are right Snorky, but I am not sure when Ross will become strictly a 3-year programs. </p>

<p>Awolves, only 4% of Ross students transfer into the program from other universities. 96% transfer in from the University of Michigan itself. So it is possible to transfer into Ross from another university, but the odds aren't good.</p>

<p>I was under the impression no student can apply to Ross until Junior in college and it is very competitive then.</p>

<p>Ross used to be a 2-year program, but that has changed recently. Ross is now implementing a 3-year program and high school students can, for the first time ever, be admitted into Ross straight out of high school.</p>
