<p>just looking for another opinion on getting accepted into Ross :)</p>

<p>I am entering UofM this fall (September 2011) after being accepted early decision last winter.
ACT:32
SAT:2120</p>

<p>My first year classes are as follows:
First semester: Statistics, Econ 101, Sociology, Comm 101 (16 Credits)
Second Semester (projected): Chinese 2, English 125. others will be scheduled later...</p>

<p>I would consider myself a good leader. Junior Varsity LaCrosse captain, Varsity LaCrosse Captain, 1 of 8 elected members to a state wide High School Athletics Coucil etc...</p>

<p>What are my chances to get into Ross next year? And what kind of grades will i need?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help!!</p>

<p>I think last year the average to get in was about a 3.65 GPA. This years data is not released yet. By the time you apply, I’d guess it would be about a 3.7 average GPA to get accepted. Class difficulty is taken into account. I’ve heard engineers getting in with 3.3’s as well.</p>

<p>awesome thanks for the quick response!! :)</p>

<p>Do you have Calc credit? You need that in order to apply. As far as grades go, they can range a lot. LSA students usually have GPAs around 3.2-3.9; I think 3.6 is around the average. Accepted engineering students’ average GPAs are lower but I don’t know the exact numbers of that.</p>

5

<p>search the michigan forum around, I think there’s a number of threads regarding Ross.</p>

6

<p>take more rigorous classes.</p>

7

<p>you need to shoot for at least a 3.6 in LSA, and get involved in some solid extracurricular activities to write your essays about.</p>

<p>btw, they don’t look at any of your high school stuff.</p>

This year’s data has been released for a little while unless I’m not looking at the right date:</p>

<p>As the poster above me has said, they don’t look at any of your high school achievements so make the best use of everything going forward! It seems like you have a solid schedule if you can hold up the grades. Personally I think essays are the most important thing of your application.</p>

<p>I think that is last years because they already have a number attending for pre-admits, and I vaguely remember the 101 from last year’s data of pre-admits attending, and it was also definitely a 33 ACT. Might be wrong though.</p>

10

<p>I think that’s the new one. Because last year the number of preferred admit applicants was in the 1200’s and this year it jumped to 1700’s.</p>

11

<p>^^ yeah that’s definitely the new one. Last year’s PA class had an average SAT of 1492 (for those admitted), instead of 1450 or whatever it is for this year’s.</p>

<p>Ah yeah i remember now. That’s weird that the SAT dropped so much but ACT stayed</p>
