<p>Getting away , living independently is something we high school students do not know much about. We claim that it is that we want the most and we'd be much better off living without our parents.</p>
<p>However I'm sure that this feeling soon wears off after some time. Im going to sound cliched very much like an old buddha but family with you could really help. </p>
<p>As an international student , I worry about living independently. Although probably one of the most exciting aspects , danger is courted as well. So think well before you make that decision</p>
<p>We seem to have deviated off the whole Ross pre-admit topic.</p>
<p>hey guys. ive been admitted to LSA, and i plan on majoring in cell and molecular biology and biomedical engineering, a 5 year program in which i receive a BS in cell and molec bio and an MS in biomedical engineering. with my ap and dual enrollment credits i can bring the time down to 4 years. recently, i decided that i also want to major in some business related field, and i saw that there is an econ major in LSA. however, would it be beneficial to apply to ross soph year so i can get a BBA, or should i stick with a BS in econ. I dont wanna stress myself out a lot, but i really really wanna do this. would it be wise to just stick with the lsa econ major or do u think i should attempt a ross BBA?
thanks</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry too much about the independence angle, mich_girl. It depends on your parents, of course, but I live very close to U-M and have a kid in school here -- we see him, but almost always it is his choice. He wants to borrow the car, come home to see friends, do laundry, get a free meal in a restaurant, etc. We rarely (I'm thinking never or almost never) initiate contact. And honestly, with cell phones, email and instant messanger, parents don't need to be close to smother.</p>
<p>Gomez95, here is the thread you were referring in your "Ross" thread post.</p>
<p>P.S. The freshmen won't be required to take BIT 200 their fresmen year.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate for freshmen applicants should drop this year because 62 spots are already taken in a class of about 360 and my guess (and it is only that) is that the B-School is becoming more popular... especially as the completion of the new building gets closer.</p>
<p>Also, if they shoot for a pre-admit class of 100 (which they should with that many applications), the freshmen applicant pool next year will become even more selective.</p>
<p>I also believe that Ross has a good chance of passing up MIT in the USNews rankings in the next couple of years. If this happens, the demand will become even greater.</p>
<p>Would the creation of the new business school mean that they will accept more people when it opens? Like right now the class size is about 360, will this increase or remain constant?</p>
<p>I forgot the name of your thread. Its an excellent write up of the Pre Admit program. </p>
<p>I looked at the admission statistics of both Preferred Admission and 3 year BBA program on the Ross School's website. These statistics were for the Class of 2010 It said that 62 were accepted via preffered admit and 350 odd were admitted through the application for the 3 year BBA program. I do not think the latter includes the preffered admits.
Therefore the acceptance rate for those applying in their freshman year would be 46.7%. If preferred admits are included in those statistics then the acceptance rate would be 42%.</p>
<p>I agree that as the new building comes up , the competition will be even more fierce and fingers crossed for a jump in the rankings as well! (possibly to No.3!)</p>
<p>If they are planning to increase class size, I haven't heard anything about it. I believe they try to keep the class size around 360ish, give or take a few.</p>
<p>I have a spot at Cornell's AEM (business) major if I want it. And Im also in at umich. I havnt heard back from ross, but if i get in which should I choose? Ive heard the grading at michigan is hard and cornell AEM is a breeze. But the new building should be sweet. Also anyone know the differnce in recruiting? And no not just for the heavily popularised Ibanking bs.</p>
<p>As far as business programs go, Ross is better than Cornell's AEM. In terms of recruitment, both are roughly the same, but Ross does attract a larger selection of recruiters. If a student is pre-admitted into Ross, and Business is their intended major, they really should go.</p>
