What should I do?

<p>K, so I just talked to an admissions counselor at U of M on Monday and he said I'm a pretty good candidate for getting accepted into LSA and if I keep it up I would be a good candidate to get into Ross... but I know how admission counselors are and I don't wanna be suckered into going to U of M if there's no hope of me getting into Ross. Right now I have a 3.7 gpa from henry ford community college weighed down by some music classes that I took, I just joined their honors program, and am looking into joining some other clubs. The counselor said that they don't really look at ECs too much and that they would look at gpas from both schools instead of just the gpa from LSA, is that true? </p>

<p>What should I go for in LSA that would give me my best chance for getting into Ross? I was thinking econ, I got a 99.4% in principles of macro with a hard teacher, but I don't know if that would be a good subject to keep on going after if I don't get admitted to Ross. Any other courses that I could go after that would be pretty helpful in an accounting/business career?</p>

<p>Should I even go to Ross to get a BBA? I plan on eventually getting an MBA and want to have a focus in accounting so getting a BBA seems kind of unnecessary for now... is there any other route you guys think I should take? trying to get an Macc from Ross seems like the best option for getting accounting jobs, but should I even do that if I want an MBA?</p>

<p>Finally, if I do decide to get into Ross what should I do to help strengthen my application? I study more now than I've ever studied before in my life so I think I'll be fine with grades, but what ECs should I try to do? I have a son and taking care of him takes up a bunch of time so would that kind of lower my expectations for ECs? I'm trying to get a job soon but I'm still looking for more stuff to do.</p>

<p>If you’re getting good grades, showing involvement in some half decent clubs, AND taking care of a kid, that’s good enough for me.</p>

<p>do you think I should go for a Macc and then eventually a MBA? I really wouldn’t mind going to school for that long cause I love learning business related stuff but I have a feeling that going back for an MBA may bring up a conflict with an employer.</p>

<p>if you finish with a BBA, you don’t necessarily need an MBA. it just depends on the type of work you want to do</p>
