Tips for getting into the Ford School - Public Policy BA

<p>Hi. I'm currently a freshman at the UofM. I know I have quite a bit of time until I apply to the Ford School, but is there anyone out there that's been accepted into the BA program, or has any advice?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>...Anyone?</p>

<p>I spoke with the Associate Director of Admissions for the Ford School and she encourages you to visit the department during open office hours. The undergraduate program is brand new this year so that is probably why you are not getting a lot of response. From their website:</p>

<p>"In academic year 2006-07, the Ford School has 177 Master's students and 47 joint doctoral students. About 25% of our Master’s students pursue dual degrees while on campus. The School's total enrollment has grown over 90% since 2000 and will grow by an additional 100 students by fall 2008 when the undergraduate program is fully enrolled."</p>

<p>If you haven't been in their new gorgeous buiding, you really should visit! I know you will find the staff friendly and very helpful.</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>
