Is applying as pre-business put me in a disadvantage to get into UofA? Just wondering, b/c most four-year business programs have really low acceptance rates in comparison to the overall acceptance rate.

Yes. If you want a better chance of being admitted apply for a less competive major then you could try transfering to their business school after a year or two. I plan on doing this. I got in as a political science major

I got in fine applying as pre-business. I didn't have 11 AP's, didn't take the ACT, but my GPA was a fair bit higher than yours.

Bottom line is, I don't know. Hope you get accepted, though!

If you do, chances are good you'd end up in the same dorms as me, hah.

According to the other thread, apparently there's a waitlist now. I'm sure spots will open up, though.
