Question About UMich Ross...

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>So I know that you cannot directly apply to Ross as an incoming undergraduate freshman - however, I do know that you can select preferred admission on your application to get a reserved spot for sophomore year.</p>

<p>My question is as follows -</p>

<p>I have heard it is significantly harder getting accepted into Ross than it is getting accepted in to Michigan's college of arts and sciences. So I ask, is it possible to select preferred admission to Ross on your application and not get the preferred admission but still get in to UMichigan (just without the reserved spot)? Or is it that if you get rejected for preferred admission you will get rejected all together from the school?</p>

<p>I would like to know because if so I feel I'd be better off applying as a hopeful Econ major to the college of arts and sciences and then just applying to Ross as a sophomore. </p>

<p>Ross is really where I'd like to end up at UMICH but I am afraid it will ruin my chances of getting in to Michigan. </p>

<p>If it is possible to get rejected for preferred admission to Ross but still get admitted to UMichigan please let me know - that is my main question. Also, any suggestions on whether I should go for Ross or Arts and Sciences would be much appreciated! (Bit of info., I am not an incredible applicant so I'd say my chances of getting accepted to UMICH arts and sciences are rather high while my chances of getting admitted in to Ross preferred are rather low). Thank you.</p>

<p>Yes, you can get into the College of LSA without being accepted to Ross via preferred admission.</p>

<p>The way it works is that you fill out the Common Application, and on the supplement for U of M, there is an optional section for if you want to apply to Ross for preferred admission. Ross looks at your overall application as well as this section, while LSA only looks at the required sections for LSA. The two decisions are separate. There are plenty of people who get rejected from pre-admit to Ross and then attend LSA [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.bus.umich.edu/Admissions/BBA/RegularAdmission.htm]in”&gt;Bachelor of Business Administration | Michigan Ross]in</a> hopes of applying to Ross after their first semester<a href=“deadline%20for%20freshmen%20to%20apply%20is%20March%2031st”>/url</a>.</p>

<p>Applying to Ross for preferred admission does not affect your chances of getting into LSA.</p>

<p>Thank you so much! This definitely answered my question! I appreciate it. :)</p>

<p>One last question, do you know if I should still talk about my passion for business on LSA supplements then?</p>

<p>^Ross should have a separate essay for you to fill out about that if I remember correctly (or it tells you to use one of the supplement essays for it’s purposes).</p>
