<p>I'm thinking to apply thru Regular Admission in my freshman year.
One of their requirements is</p>
<p>•Any course in Calculus I, II, or III</p>
<p>I'm currently taking AP Calc BC, and if I get a 4 or above, is it okay to not take
any math class in my freshman year?</p>
<p>Or should I take the next level (Calc III??) in my freshman year?</p>
<p>I seriously don't want to take math classes at college
So is there any required math class at Ross if you get in?</p>
<p>And about statistics class,
I got a 4 on it.
And I just read that there is a required statistics class?
I HATED THAT SUBJECT! X-(
Is that mean that I take another stats class if I get into Ross?</p>
<p>1) No need Calc III?
2) Is it possible to not take any math class at Ross?
3) What about Stats class?
4) Would Ross help me going to a law school?
5) Is it worth it to apply?
6) How about just easier major at LSA? = better GPA</p>
<p>To get into Ross during your second year, you really need to focus on getting “good” grades, meaning a 3.5+ if you’re in LSA and a 3.3+ if you’re in engineering (or taking more difficult classes). If you really don’t want to take math, then don’t. Chances are, you won’t like it and won’t work as hard than if you were taking a class you actually wanted to, you know? Also, one of Ross’ math pre-reqs is only calc I. If you’re already getting credit for it, then it’s up to you. You also DON’T need to take stats for Ross. </p>
<p>In sum: just make sure you do well on ALL of the pre-reqs, meaning try your hardest to get an A in all of them (especially Econ).</p>
<p>Ross will not give you any edge to getting into Law School (that’s a whole other game - one in which they DON’T consider your undergrad major/prestige of your undergrad institution). In my personal opinion, I think Ross would give you a DISADVANTAGE if anything - Ross has a ridiculous grading system, and it’s harder to get “good grades”, which is one MAIN aspect that Law Schools look at. </p>
<p>If your sole intention is to get into law school, you’d be safer majoring in Psych, getting a 4.0 and killing your LSATs. But if not, then do Ross.</p>
<p>I would say, definitely try your hand at Ross. But just know that it’s not the “easiest” path persay for getting into Law School. But I mean, if you’re “good” at school and getting “good” grades, go for it!</p>
<p>Yes, my goal is to get a solid GPA and the LSAT scores and attend a law school.</p>
<p>I thought business could be an interesting major,
so I planned about attending Ross School,
but after reading your comment, (a ridiculous grading system) I don’t want to go there now.</p>
<p>Do you know any other “easy” majors such as psych you mentioned?</p>
<p>1) I don’t like science (esp. memorizing classes ex)bio, anatomy
2) I don’t like math
3) I don’t like history
4) I don’t like English</p>
<p>I actually want to study in business, is there any similar one in LSA?</p>
<p>And for your question, “No, I am horrible at schooling and maintaining good GPA.”</p>
<p>if you don’t like math, then perhaps business wasn’t for you anyways…? As a student in the b-school, I can tell you that it is very numbers-based. The math itself isn’t difficult (as opposed to engineering or physics) but there’s lots of it.</p>
<p>Well, what are some things that you do like? Perhaps if you list them here, then we would be able to give you better advice options.</p>
<p>If you are into marketing, I highly recommend majoring in either communications or something like informatics - social computing. You can google both of these and check out the respective departments. </p>
<p>I’m actually majoring in social informatics - what’s great about this major? Besides taking only two slightly-not-so-awesome classes in programming, this one focuses specifically on social media and psychology-like classes (translation: NOT A HARD MAJOR). Marketing nowadays is shifting into social sites - so this would be a great option if you want to pursue that. Plus, I spoke with my informatics adviser regarding job potential after graduation. This is what she said: “informatics majors give employers the sense that they’re logical and highly trainable. Future employers highly value this”. So if you ever decide in the middle of your college career that you DON’T want to do law school, you have a buffer to save your butt/get a job after you graduate.</p>
<p>in regards to the b-school math, its not a lot of calc related stuff so its not super complex. there may be some optimization stuff, but thats simple derivatives. its just a lot of simple math operations, but it requires you to think numbers, if that makes any sense. this is especially true in classes like accounting and finance. </p>
<p>it’s not as hard as calc, because its more numbers oriented, than concept oriented like calculus.</p>
<p>1) No need Calc III?
No need for Calc III. I would just say to take classes you really find interesting, yet you are able to get a good grade in it.</p>
<p>2) Is it possible to not take any math class at Ross?
Pretty much if you don’t want to do Finance, major math won’t be an issue. Obviously, simple math is necessary for classes like Accounting and even for BE (Business Economics).</p>
<p>3) What about Stats class?
As a student familiar with the business school curriculum, I can tell you that everyone who has posted here is wrong. There IS a required statistics class at Ross. It’s just not called STATS. It’s called OMS. You can pass out of it by taking a placement test I believe but I wouldn’t worry about it too much until you know for a fact you’re in Ross. Don’t take Stats250 if you’re not comfortable with Stats. Remember, your freshman year you need a high GPA and good classes.</p>
<p>4) Would Ross help me going to a law school?
Ross would help you in any way. I’m very biased because I love the business school but I truly believe that Ross will open doors for you every way. Most of the business school students go straight to work after but a few go onto further education so this shouldn’t be a problem.</p>
<p>5) Is it worth it to apply?
It NEVER hurts to apply. The worst thing would be for you to regret NOT applying! You can always drop Ross if you don’t like it. Obviously it probably isn’t advisable but remember this: it’s a lot easier to get out of Ross than in.</p>
<p>6) How about just easier major at LSA? = better GPA
Don’t take the easy way out.</p>
<p>So if I took Econ 405 (Intro to Stats), I could test out of OMS and get the credits for it? Is it possible to test out of Business Econ as well?</p>
<p>Is it even possible to negotiate the 45 credit requirement if you test out OMS and BIT 200? I’m also having trouble understanding how EECS is a replacement for BIT 200, if the subject matter is so radically different. </p>
<p>Are the 1.5 credit classes at Ross actual classes with final exams and stuff?</p>
