<p>Ross has one of the best Marketing programs in the country. What stats (specifically SAT scores) would be a "match" to get into Ross?</p>
<p>Also, what is the difference between making it to Ross and making it "regularly" to UMich? If I have it understood, they are not one in the same. If I get accepted into UMich and not into Ross, is the whole Marketing program and prestige out the window?</p>
<p>They are only taking 80 students into the Ross preferred admission program. So the chances are slim for everyone. They have changed their process so that students now apply in the middle of freshman year. If you aren't accepted out of h.s. into preferred admission or as a freshman, then I think you're out of luck.</p>
<p>Altho, I did hear that they let a limited number of non-BBA students take B-school classes, on a space-available basis.</p>
<p>im guessing to get in you'd have to have 4.0 UW and like 34 act or 2300+ sat and stellar business-related ECs</p>
<p>So...I guess that means I'm not making it. My SAT score is currently at 2020, and I'm assuming a 100 point increase next time I take it. My EC's aren't great. </p>
<p>Anybody have any good marketing programs that they can recommend to someone with my creds?</p>
<p>Feh. Only 80?</p>
<p>I'm probably in trouble then. I'm at 33 ACT and 4.0 unweighted Michigan GPA. Best thing I have going for me may be the DaimlerChrysler exchange program I participated in over the past two summers that sent me to Germany for three weeks and had me do another three weeks of stuff this summer. Also an internship with US Rep Sander Levin. I'd really like to make it into this program....</p>
<p>My SAT score was 1320 though....my idiot counselor said I should send scores in when I take the test, I ended up sick that day and did terrible on the test.</p>
<p>NYU is pretty good with financial-type stuff.</p>
<p>Guys, not getting into Ross directly out of high school is not the end of the world. You can re-apply to Ross at the end of your Freshman year at Michigan. And you should expect Ross to be selective. It is one of the top 3 BBA programs in the nation.</p>
<p>dsmo,
U-M will only count your higher score. As your 33 ACT is much better than your 1320 SAT, they won't count your SAT.</p>
<p>Hey, you guys make it sounds like it's a big deal getting in as a freshman. It is not! The majority of the students getting into Ross in their sophomore year. If you are a smart kid like dsmo, you have a very good chance of getting into Ross the regular way ... you just have to keep your grades up in your first year.</p>
<p>Transferring into Ross is ridiculously hard, and I assume getting in as a freshman would be damn near impossible. If you are female, however, it is MUCH easier, as they keep the ratio 50/50, and the applicant pool is largely of masculine character. For transferring, good grades, recommendations, and pre-business leadership experience is the MINUMUM. Several people in my fraternity earned As in accounting (the weeder course, considered one of the thoughest undergraduate courses) and were rejected. In other words, do all you can, work hard, and hope for the best.</p>
<p>About half the people get in, statistically speaking. I knew of four students applying this year and they all made it. You need to demonstrate leadership, community services and stuff; and write a strong personal statement. You need strong academic records (preferrably 3.6 GPA or better).</p>
<p>I presume with the new three-year program your high school accomplishments will count more, as you will only have less than a year of college by the time you apply.</p>
<p>Btw, this is a transition year. There will be twice as many students applying - class of 2008 for the 2-year program, and class of 2009 for the 3-year program. I wonder how they will accomodate that.</p>
<p>I don't think HS stats will be taken into consideration if you're already a freshman at LSA trying to get in the following year. From then on, it's your first year college stats.</p>
<p>We don't know that yet as this is the first time for Ross. For the 3-year program, the deadline is March 31st. By then you only have your first semester grades on file. Not really enough to 'prove' your worth academically as most people are taking intro/GE courses in the first term. Besides, how do you "demonstrate your leadership abilities and initiative in campus involvement, community service, etc." if you limit that experience to only your first term in Ann Arbor?</p>
<p>Would it be smart (or even possible) to try and transfer from a non-Michigan college to Ross? Or would I be better off going to a 4-year program somewhere else?</p>
<p>It sounds like it is hard to transfer in to. :/</p>
<p>There are plenty of other find business programs out there.</p>
<p>Really? with your stats...it shouldn't be that hard to get 3.8 or even straight A's in your first term.</p>
<p>Collegehopeful,
Transferring into Ross from outside is harder. Only 4-5% of the incoming class is from non-UM schools.</p>
<p>How about for a PhD? Is it any easier to get by Bachelors first and then tranfer to Ross? Is this even possible or recommended?</p>
<p>As you can see I'm pretty lost on this...</p>
<p>Collegehelpful, if you wish to get a PhD in Business, you can get a Bachelor degree in any field. In fact, if you go for a BA in Mathematics and Economics, you will be in better shape to go for a PhD than if you major in Business at the undergraduate level.</p>
<p>Getting a bachelor's at one institution and then enrolling elsewhere for a graduate degree is not 'transferring.' Information about transferring, and rates of transfer acceptance don't really apply in such a case.</p>
