ross and emory are truly no different. Do you realize the preferred admit rate for ross was 6% for 2007?

Where did you hear 6%? Actually, Ross pre-admit was 1044 applications and 198 offers (with 70 enrolling) for the 2007 entering class.

i dont know if you guys realize it but goizueta is really not a great business school...very few firms on Wall street would even consider it a semi target..mich is much better.

True, but Ross is barely a target itself when you compare it to HYSPW and a few others.

Uh, Wall Street = the sum of the important market for graduates of an undergrad b-school? And this determines which business schools are great? Sorry, that's very dopey logic.

HYPS don't even have undergrad b-schools. One could say if you want to go to Wall Street, better to go to one of those schools rather than an undergrad b-school, but that's an entirely different statement.

To the OP: Ross and Emory's b-school both seem to rate quite well obviously.

To other posters: how hard is it to get into G. from within Emory?

john mack, ceo of ml, told us in last week's interview:

"if I were graduating today, I would go outside of the US. I would not stay here (new york) if the US keeps trying to isolate itself from the rest of the world"


so no, it's not the end of the world if you don't go to wall street.

From what I understand admission into Ross from within the University is largely based upon your grades in three classes: the Freshmen Composition Course, Calculus, and Economics. I may be able to provide the specific course numbers if need be. I have also heard that the Economics class is deceivingly easy at its onset and that the final exam is surprisingly difficult, (this coming from a 3.83 Public Policy Junior I know of). Again, I will provide more information if it is needed.

what if you already took ap calculus bc, ap microeconomics and ap macroeconomics and had gotten a 5 on all 3 exams?

So what is the admissions percentage?

i've heard b/t 30-40% for those applying at end of fresh year. however milton roark is right, umich looks primarily at those 3 classes, ur overall work at michigan thus far, plus ur hs work, although hs stuff isnt necessarily as heavily weighted.
