<p>Can someone please tell me whether COE or Ross is more difficult to get into? Also, how difficult is it to transfer if you change your mind? How feasible is it to transfer from COE to Ross or from Ross to COE? Is one direction more difficult than the other? </p>
<p>The math background etc., will not be a problem.</p>
<p>Ross is harder to get in as a pre-admit.</p>
<p>To transfer from LSA -> Ross and LSA-> COE are equally not that difficult, but still require a bit of effort.
For the first, just take easy polisci, history, psych, soc, comm classes and get the highest GPA possible.</p>
<p>For the second, take Physics, Chem, Calc 3/4.</p>

<p>I would say Ross, pre-admit or transfer in sophomore. But there are now double major in both. That may be the most difficult one to get in.</p>
<p>Is there a coordinated double major between Engineering and Ross? Or do you just need to meet the requirements for each individually but there is no coordination between the two schools?</p>
<p>^ You need to specify in the application. It is new this year.</p>
<p>Ross is definitely harder to get into, but the classes in CoE are harder. Pre-admit to Ross is the hardest thing to get coming into the school, and it’s very easy to transfer LSA->CoE as a freshman but LSA->Ross only has like a 33% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>^^^
LSA to Ross and COE are equally easy.</p>
<p>For COE, you want to get at least a 3.0 for the transfer to be automatic.
The bare minimum are Chem, Physics 140, Calc 3, English 125, EECS 183/ENGR 101. All of which could be completed in a single semester if you have credit for AP Chem which a lot of people probably have. You could technically have the other semester be easy, that’d be a waste semester if you’re taking all humanities and other LSA stuff, so most people usually go on to the next Calc and Physics 240, etc…</p>
<p>For Ross, you want at least a 3.5 in that easy LSA stuff.</p>
<p>
This simply isn’t true. I have plenty of friends who went from LSA to CoE their second semester freshman year and just had to fill out a form to be automatically moved over. Ross obviously has a very formal application process with a fairly low acceptance rate. If you take calc right away and maintain a respectable GPA, it shouldn’t be hard at all to move over to engineering second semester freshman year.</p>
<p>^ I edited my post.</p>
<p>The hardest class a kid applying to Ross would have to take is Math 115. And even then if you did have AP credit, you wouldn’t even have to take that, which makes his hardest required class what?? Econ 101? English 125?</p>
<p>
and I also have plenty of friends from LSA to Ross too. and your point is…?</p>
<p>The reason I am asking is that DD is interested in both CS and Finance. She received her acceptance to COE yesterday, and is still waiting on pre-admit to Ross. If she is accepted to Ross, does that mean she is eligible for the combined program, or is there something else that she would also need to do to consider and apply for separately? Where can we learn more about the combined program?</p>
<p>Someone mentioned the importance of a strong math background. Her math scores are not perfect, but solid. She is not afraid of math. She has an 780 on SAT reasoning math, 780 on SAT Math II, a 5 on B/C Calculus.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>There should be a fair amount of math in finance and statistics for the more math capable students who are comfortable with calculus and differentials.</p>
<p>most kids in Ross will never go beyond Calc 1.
the only kid I know who does high-freq trading took EECS classes and LSA Math upper level. he was in COE not Ross</p>
<p>All the complicated math in “Technical Operations” classes are done in excel. lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So she’s one of those people…</p>
<p>If she’s looking at the more technical type of stuff like HFT CS makes far more sense than BBA specializing in finance. The BBA only really makes more sense for IB and stuff like that, in which case it would be a bad choice to also do CS. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There isn’t though… The more math inclined students add a math major.</p>
<p>Bearcats would be the guy to ask though if looking for what to major in given what within finance she wants to do.</p>
<p>ForeverAlone- I’m not disputing that engineering is the more technically challenging major, but the OP is asking which program is more difficult to get into. It’s Ross because of the competition for just getting in. Pretty much anyone that’s semi-competent could transfer into engineering, but then they have to cut it in the school as well.</p>
<p>
And pretty much anyone who is semi-competent could also transfer into Ross. </p>
<p>37% acceptance rate doesn’t mean much you’re competing with pledges who partied too hard their first semester.</p>
<p>Walmart’s job acceptance rate is 3%.</p>
<p>^Well you’re obviously bitter so there’s no use further arguing this point.</p>
<p>there’s no point arguing because you’ve finally accepted that Ross and COE are equally difficult to transfer into.</p>
<p>Well no, I’ve made it pretty abundantly clear that it’s harder to transfer into Ross than CoE (and it is), but there’s really no use arguing with someone who thinks all of Ross is dumb kids who drink too much. You’re either bitter or just woefully misinformed.</p>
<p>again, I made the valid point that the class requirements for Ross are much easier.
and although there is competition, but it’s not strong competition</p>
<p>you couldn’t counter the last point, meanwhile I addressed all of your points. you did not</p>
