<p>What school at the University of Michigan is easiest to get into or has the highest acceptance rate? I want to know this because I can get into that school and just transfer later right?</p>
<p>bump me up</p>
<p>LSA is the easiest and the largest.
But No you can't just transfer later. To transfer you have to go through all the hassle of applying again to the new school you want to go to.
It's much better to pick the school you want to study in now.</p>
<p>Oh man I had it all wrong then. I thought colleges give you two years to decide on your major? So it wouldn't be easy to transfer over if I get in?</p>
<p>You might be able to transfer once you got in, but I wouldn't count on it. You're not the first person to contemplate a "back door entry" by applying to an "easier" school, and Michigan is aware of it. </p>
<p>SNRE used to be the way people tried, but it no longer has an undergrad program. Other schools have different criteria--Art may focus less on academics, but it's not "easier" because you need a portfolio. Music, too, is competitive and requires a formal audition. I don't know what Nursing looks for, but if you're not truly interested in nursing that's probably going to be apparent. Kinesiology used to be considered an 'easier' school to get into but that's changed, too.</p>
<p>Umm... I don't think LSA is the easiest school to get into here (not that it really matters anyway 'cuz when you get here, you have lots of requirements to fulfill in LSA such as being at the fourth term college level in a foreign language before you graduate from the university, etc.), but it is the largest. I usually think of Kines and Nursing as easier schools to get into at Michigan, but as Hoedown said, that's changing. Michigan does not like back door admissions so I wouldn't try applying that way. Apply to the school in which your interests lie.</p>
<p>Thanks. So is the Ross School of Business an undergraduate school? If you have two years to decide your major then how does this work? I am undediced between engineering and accounting/finance. So what should I do. Don't you also have to fill certain requirements?</p>
<p>bump. Can I please get some help?</p>
<p>Ross has been discussed frequently and at length on the U-M forum.</p>
<p>Ross is an upperclass school, just as the School of Education is. Currently, Michigan students apply (usually from LSA) during their sophomore year and, if accepted, finish out their Jr. and Sr. year in Ross. Accounting students may stay a 5th year to get the MAcc.</p>
<p>Ross is in transition, however; it will soon be more of a 3-year school, with students applying during their Freshman year at Michigan. </p>
<p>A select group (75-80) students will be admitted early each year, however--students may apply as high school seniors, along with their regular app to Michigan. Ross will notify those outstanding 80 that in addition to their regular acceptance at Michigan, they also have a spot held for them in Ross in a year's time. Unlike their Michigan peers, they will not have to apply later in their freshman year and hope they get a spot. Theirs is (generally) guaranteed.</p>
<p>thanks. I don't like that idea though because I might choose to go to Michigan just for their business program, then it would suck if I go to LSA for two years and don't get in. Is this the same with the School of Engineering? </p>
<p>All of your help is appreciate and helping me alot.</p>
<p>Engineering is a school you apply to (and enter) straightaway, from high school to entry as a freshmen.</p>
<p>Many people see the delayed Ross entrance as a liability--they're taking a chance if they come to Michigan with an eye to a business degree, because they may not be able to get one! If they don't gain entrance to Ross, they have to cadge together a business-related major from LSA.</p>
<p>I think that was a major impetus for offering the "early entrance" guarantee for some students. Ross was never even getting a shot at wooing the best students (and Michigan overall was losing them) because they'd opt out of attending U-M at all and go for Stern or somewhere similar where they were in as freshmen.</p>
<p>So if I apply to LSA hoping to get into the Ross School of Business 1st, then decide I want to major in engineering I'm basically SOL?</p>
<p>Well, then you can try to transfer. TRY being the key word. But if you are once again a solid applicant you should be able to make the transfer.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think your best bet would be to apply to Engineering and plan on that--but still apply to Ross (not as preferred admissions right away, but along with the other people who apply when they are freshmen at Michigan). If you get in, you can pursue the business degree you want. if not, you keep on in Engineering. The only thing you are missing out on is the chance to apply to th "preferred admission" program, which is the special placeholder admissions described above.</p>
<p>I write this assuming it's okay to apply to Ross from Engineering. Your best bet would be to ask someone in the admissions office--or at Ross. The BBA Admissions FAQ isn't terribly clear on this point, but someone should know if you shot an email out.</p>
