<p>I have been accepted to UMICH LSA with Economics. I am applying for a seat in the Ross School of Business which I apply as a freshman... Which classes should I take freshman year that will fulfill the pre-req's for Ross as well as look good for admissions?
My senior year schedule:
Virtual Enterprise - Virtual Business Company course
AP Government
AP Art History
AP Calculus BC
English Year 4
I have not taken AP Macroeconomics which my high school offered nor AP Micro (school does not offer).
Other major classes I have taken: AP Biology, AP US History, AP World History, Spanish year4</p>

<p>Parthp1128, here are some resources you should find useful:</p>
<p>Prerequisite Classes: [BBA</a> - Stephen M. Ross School of Business](<a href=“http://www.bus.umich.edu/Admissions/BBA/RegularAdmission.htm]BBA”>Bachelor of Business Administration | Michigan Ross)
Graduation Requirements: [Core</a> Courses - Stephen M. Ross School of Business](<a href=“Core Course Requirements - BBA - Academics at the Michigan Ross School of Business”>Core Course Requirements - BBA - Academics at the Michigan Ross School of Business)</p>
<p>To apply to Ross, you will need to take English 125 and ECON 101 your freshman year. You’ve already taken AP Calc, which will fulfill the requirement for MATH 125. ECON 102 is highly recommended because you are required to take is sophomore year and it will show the admissions staff that you are serious about business. Many students also take ACC 300 Winter of freshman year for the same reasons as ECON 102 and because the grading curve is easier in the Winter.</p>
<p>For other classes, I recommend taking electives that will fulfill the additional degree requirements section of the second link above. If you do well enough on the Spanish placement exam at orientation, you will fulfill the foreign language distribution requirement. If not, you should take Spanish freshman year. Many of your AP credits will fulfill other distribution requirements, so you should choose other elective classes based on the AP credits you are granted at orientation and your interests.</p>
<p>I also recommend taking an interesting freshman seminar. While the business school does many things very well, it doesn’t offer very many classes that will expand your horizons. Sign up for an interesting seminar; you can always drop it if you don’t like it.</p>
