<p>For those of you OOS and accepted, did you list a major? How tough is admissions to the business school (WSBE) for an OOS student? Thanks, and congratulations to all of you who were recently accepted.</p>
<p>I got in as a Microbiology major oos. I dunno about business, but business schools are usually the hardest.</p>
<p>i got in as a Molecular Biology major...
and i don't know specifically for the business school but like soccery_guy said, business are usually the hardest so it is probably difficult especially as an oss applicant</p>
<p>RE:
My son got into UNH, his SAT scores were 800/800/760 and a couple of 800s on SATII, he is a National Merit Finalist, his school does not rank, so he did not have a class rank. He was NOT invited to the Honors Program at UNH. He was given a Deans Scholarship. I am wondering if I should call the admissions office.</p>
<p>twosonmom:
I graduated this past spring from UNH as a Presidential Scholar and a member of the Honors Program. When I applied in 2001, I had (comparatively) lower SAT scores and was not a National Merit Scholar of any kind. Admissions standards have probably changed since I was admitted; I would, however, still contact the admissions/Honors office to inquire about why your son was not given a better award package. There may have been a mistake, or they may simply be intimidated by the possibility of losing such a high-caliber student. When I applied to UNH I also applied to UVM and was denied any merit-based aid because I did not provide a class rank; my father spoke with the admissions office to explain to them that my school did not rank students, and my aid package changed accordingly. So, it's definitely worth a try!</p>
<p>As to the overall UNH experience: I grew up in a Big-10 college town in the Midwest, so Durham was quite different from what I had come to expect from a college town. And I wasn't a huge fan of the remoteness. There is a party scene, but it's more house-party driven than greek. There are plenty of opportunities to take advantage of, though, and I'd say my best year at UNH was the year I spent away (studying abroad and interning in DC). The professors are very accessible if you take the time, and classes are not huge.</p>
