rate my winter semester schedule/ross chances

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>first semester (15 credits):
econ 398 a+
stats 350 a
phil 180 a
asian 252 (first year seminar requirement) b+
uc 102 (required 1 credit (credit/nocredit) for michigan community scholars program) - received credit</p>

<p>gpa: 3.85</p>

<p>second semester(14 credits):
econ 310
eng 125 (first year writing requirement)
soc 389 (for MCSP, tutoring elementary school kids - credit/nocredit)
psych 280</p>

<p>I'm worried that this year will be extremely, extremely competitive due to the increased preferred admits and (i believe) more applications from freshmen. Does anybody know anything good/bad about any of my winter semester classes, any tips or anything at all? Any help is appreciated.</p>

<p>Oh, and by the way, I passed out of calc1/2 and econ101 through AP testing so those requirements are out of the way</p>

<p>Your course selection is solid. Econ 310 (Money and Banking if memory serves) is a good course. You have a good shot if you can maintain a 3.8 GPA.</p>

3

<p>Alexandre,
How important is taking an Econ class? All the more substantive courses are overbooked?</p>

4

<p>You must have been in my Econ 398 class. I got the same grade as you! I'm applying to Ross as well.</p>

<p>I really want to take Econ 310 for next semester, but the class is full! :(</p>

5

<p>May want to consider taking another course in the winter, you're only at 11 graded credits.</p>

6

<p>The soc389 course is 3 credits, but its a mandatory credit/nocredit. It actually takes alot of time - 7.5 hours a week in total plus any journal/group work they assign us. So i'm not sure if i should take another course because i'm already at 14 credits</p>

7

<p>Soc 389 is 1 and half hours of class per week. And 4 hours of comm service through the week. It's not supposed to be too much work at all. You can always take the 2 credit Univ Living course too. </p>

<p>I;d say take another class, see how its going the first two weeks. If it's too much then drop the additional class.</p>

8

<p>I'm also applying to Ross.</p>

<p>First semester I took:</p>

<p>Math 175 (4 credits) - A
HJCS 201 (5) - A
English 125 (4) - A-
Physics 112 (3) - B</p>

<p>3.73 GPA</p>

<p>Next semester I'm taking:</p>

<p>Math 115 (4)
Econ 101 (4)
HJCS 202 (5)
Math 389 (3) or Geosci 103 (1) depending if I think I can handle Math 389 or not</p>

<p>Do you think I am on the right track?</p>

9

<p>Doesn't Math 389 have Calc 3 as a pre req? </p>

<p>Good GPA though.</p>

10

<p>It might, but I was still able to get the over ride for the class.</p>

11

<p>what was everyone's gpa for first semester?</p>

<p>I got a 3.833!</p>

12

<p>you are good to go, as long as you get goodd essays.</p>

<p>VERY GOOD TO GO (398 game theory although is a joke, is impressive for freshman year)</p>

13

<p>You guys are doing great. It's the right mix of courses and the right GPA. Just keep that up, write good essays, and you'll be fine.</p>

14

<p>How important is campus/service involvement and leadership ... now that most people are applying in their freshman year?</p>
