<p>Just a quick note. S2 and I just returned from a Ross B-School presentation. The administrator told the group that those students admitted during EA who also are seeking Ross pre-admit will be notified no later the April 15th. We were left with the distinct impression that it is unlikely to happen earlier than that. Furthermore, students admitted after the EA round (post Dec-20th) will learn as soon as possible after the 15th.</p>
<p>I hate that it’s so late! I’m putting off my admissions decision until I hear back from Ross and, though it’s unlikely that I’ll get in, I’d like to know for sure before committing to attend my second choice college (UT).</p>
<p>I was talking to a UMich rep through the live chat option they have, and they said around April 1st.</p>
<p>I got into UMich LSA on December 17th 2010, if Ross says within 16 weeks, then the latest they would notify people who got in Early would be April 8th 2011. I hope they do it earlier as it is one of my top choices if I get into Ross.</p>
<p>I hear Ross received over 2,000 pre-admit applications and they will make fewe than 400 offers, so they obviously are delaying for a good reason.</p>
<p>My d received her acceptance on March 12 to UMich. On March 15 she received an email from Ross that stated she would hear back on or before April 22nd.</p>
<p>@dte i got the same email as her</p>
<p>"Congratulations on your admission to the University of Michigan! We would like to remind you that the Ross School of Business conducts a separate review of applicants for Preferred Admission after students have received an offer of admission to one of the other schools or colleges at the University of Michigan. We expect to email you with a Preferred Admission decision by April 22. "</p>
<p>I got the same email as you maxhuang8. </p>
<p>I applied and got accepted pretty late though.</p>
<p>Even as an EA admit, I think April 15th is so late! The 22nd sounds really frustrating! By April 1 we will have all decisions in hand except this one and as someone else said, the choice of Michigan for us also depends on Ross pre-admit. I just want this over with! (Although, honestly, I don’t see my son ultimately choosing Michigan - too big.)</p>
<p>What I found especially frustrating was the excuse given was the university had switched to EA and therefore Ross, which normally started evaluating decisions as early as October, didn’t get to the first applications until late December. </p>
<p>They admit there is no change in the workload (UM is still admitting roughly the same number of students), just that there has been a slide in the start date. Huh? The new schedule has been known for over a year, it’s not as though the university sprung it on Ross in late December. I was going to point out that this seemed like a poor job of resource planning for a top business school, but thought the better of it.</p>
<p>Well it says “by 22nd” so it could potentially come out before then. They won’t release everything on that one day will they? </p>
<p>personally I’m fine with 22nd cuz i applied after the deadline and only got in last week! :)</p>

<p>Attached is the 2010 Class profile. The question is, if you are not pre-admitted, how difficult is it to be admitted after freshman year? It looks like they took 39.8% of the applicants (419/1052), and the average gpa was 3.63. What do you do if you are one of the 633 (60.2%) who are not admitted, and then would like to major in business.</p>
<p>I understand the metrics of the class profile, however, 60% of the population being declined is significant.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any experience in this area?</p>
<p>My daughter is currently a junior at Ross. She applied as a UM freshman (did not do pre-admit). Many of her friends who applied were not accepted. The majority of them now are majoring in Org. Studies (which you apply to during sophomore year) or Economics in LSA. LSA students are permitted to enroll in Ross courses. Some of her Econ major friends will be working in IB summer internships.</p>
<p>Bayley: Thank you for the response. It has been very difficult to get a live person at Michigan to address this issue. There is a good deal of information on the website, but it is always better to speak to a live person. If one does not want to major in something as specific as Economics, the question becomes, would your daughter’s friends still have chosen Michigan to major in Org. Studies, if they were able to attend another comparable university and be admitted to their business program? Also, is there a limit to the number of business classes they can enroll in at Ross? Thanks very much!</p>
