<p>I was told the acceptance rate for transfer students is an astonishing 3%.</p>

<p>...</p>

<p>Yeah. Anyways, I'm still going to apply. When I asked what the reasons were, the admissions rep told me it was because a very small amount of students apply to Ross, which I don't believe at all.</p>

<p>So what's the transfer criteria at the moment? I'll be transferring with Econ, Accounting, Calc., Bio, and Physics to name a few. My GPA, after the summer, is a 4.0 (9 credits). High school stats were horrible. a 3.93/5.0. I worked all through out high school for personal reasons. </p>

<p>No legacy there either. Just a friend of a friend who goes to the med school. I'm working on my ACT and have been buckling down and studying. My highest score was a 24, and that's a huge no-no. I'm aiming for a 29 this time.</p>

<p>I'll be joining Student Senate, India/Paki association, and Think Tank. I also want to create a Finance/Accounting club at school because we lack one at the moment. I think that should do well with e.c.s</p>

<p>What does Ross look at? I think Ross is an amazing school that seems to be over looked by schools like Georgetown, Stern, Upenn, and some others. After having looked at what Ross has to offer, I didn't find many of the same offerings from the aforementioned schools.</p>

<p>Are any of you successful transfer students? Do you know of any? Got pointers from me?</p>

<p>I've met some U-Mich schools, and they're pretty laid back and cool - that's my kind of environment.</p>

<p>Ross does not accept 3% of transfer applicants. 3% of the Ross class are transfers from other universities. There's a big difference, although the acceptance rate for transfers from other universities is obviously going to be quite low (definitely well below the regular admit rate for students applying from inside the University of Michigan).</p>

<p>There is no real strategy to getting in. At that level, it is a question of demand and supply. Do you offer something the program is looking for at the exact moment that your application is being reviewed. Obviously, a good GPA and great essays help, but even then, the element of luck will play a part.</p>
