<p>“At UIUC you’re guaranteed admission to the business school. At Michigan you’re taking a chance; even if you get in second year, you may be locked out of key prerequisite classes freshman year that could make it difficult to graduate in 4 years.”</p>
<p>How do you know that the OP would be, “locked out of key prerequisite classes freshman year?” In any case, if costs are about the same, go to Michigan, even without the Bschool preadmit. You’re going to have to get good grades anywhere you attend to land a good job when you graduate. Might as well start with your freshman year and get admitted as a sophomore to Ross.</p>
