<p>If you stated on your application that you were applying into LSA but had a preference to Ross, does that mean they'll still take you for LSA even if you get shot down from Ross?. Like....along the lines of..."Oh, you didn't get accepted into our business school directly, but we'll give you admission into the campus."</p>

<p>Also, I've searched and I want to know what GPA I would have to maintain to get admitted into Ross if I'm going to LSA first. 3.5ish? 3.6ish?
Thanks!</p>

<p>Oh, and...chances? Please please please!!! Hahahah.</p>

<p>My ECs…</p>

<p>+Wrote/publish the book “Run a High school Club to perfection” Sold/Distributed across Amazon, Lulu, over 300 schools in California, and over 10 affiliates now. (UPDATE! Scholastics.com is taking a look into it, and is considering distributing. It's a long shot though, but I can pray!)</p>

<p>I've got to say, despite all your "EC" and the rank of your school, you're still probably a slight reach-reach for Michigan, and a long reach for Ross mostly because of your gpa and SAT score...</p>

<p>UMICH is known as 'little Troy' or something to that extent because so many kids are sent from troy. The kids who are sent also do not have 3.4 GPAs with 1940's. I don't know why you are asking, I'm sure you know the quality of kids from troy that get accepted as well as the quality of kids that get into Ross, considering you must send 100/year to UMICH.</p>
