<p>Quick question: Does applying to Ross as a direct admit, given its lower acceptance rate than, say LSA, at all influence the ability to get a general acceptance to UMich? Thanks.</p>
<p>Absolutely not.</p>
<p>Your acceptance to LSA is considered first. The Ross committee considers only the applications of the students who have been accepted to LSA/COE/kinesiology</p>
<p>so when they are considering you for admission to LSA first, they are actually basing some of the decision off of the quality of your Ross essay?</p>
<p>^ No. I don’t see where you would get that from.</p>
<p>res ipsa said your acceptance to LSA is considered first, yet you only write two essays to submit. one about community and the other about what school you want to apply to. but you write about why you want to go to Ross, not LSA</p>
<p>Unless it’s changed since I applied, I believe you have to write both. Applying to Ross doesn’t replace any other essay, it just adds another.</p>
<p>that makes no sense. why would you write an essay on why you want to go to LSA when you actually want to go to Ross?</p>
<p>Because you apply to LSA first and foremost. I wrote my essay about being interested in LSA because I like English, and I like to read/write creatively, and then I wrote my pre-admit essay and got in.</p>
<p>well am i screwed because i wrote (and submitted) my essay about how Michigan as a whole and Ross is exactly what i was looking for? I never mentioned LSA…</p>
<p>… ?</p>
<p>ArKhAiK, no one on this board is going to know if you are screwed. I would highly doubt it. If you wrote that you wanted to go to State to learn how to take down Denard, then maybe … The essay is not a huge part of decision making process. It is read very quickly and mainly to get additional information about who an applicant is and what makes him or her tick - stuff that won’t show up in a transcript.</p>
<p>Okay thansks for the reassurement. How long do you think is spent on each application? 5-10 minutes?</p>
<p>it shouldn’t…</p>
