Your GPA and test scores are both on the low side. This is the first year that Ross changed the admission policy, it would be harder to chance. They also focus on other factors besides grade and GPA. Nevertheless, it is a reach for you due to the expected low admission rate and your stat.

Your business experience is an attractive trait for Ross (I would elaborate on this in your portfolio). However, you must first get accepted to LSA which your GPA and ACT are a bit low for most OOS students. I would recommend on working to have fantastic essays and maintaining/improving your GPA. Best of luck!

If you have all As in quantitative courses you got a decent shot, if not your odds are slimmer
