How Selective is Ross' Undergraduate Program?

Colleges & Universities University of Michigan

<p>I plan to go into International Business in the future, and Ross is #4 for undergraduate studies in that area. I’ve been admitted to LSA at UM, however, unlike the other business school I’ve been accepted into (Babson, Santa Clara U, Boston U, University of British Columbia), getting into Ross requires that I apply going into my sophomore year at UM. I’m well aware of the fact that none of the schools that I’ve been accepted to even compare to the program at Ross. But unlike going to Michigan, getting into the business programs there are guaranteed. So, I was just wondering, just how difficult it is to be considered a competitive applicant, and what I would need to do during my freshman year at Michigan.</p>

<p>as long as you are competent, you should be able to do good enough in LSA to get in, just stay involved with some clubs.</p>

<p>I don’t know bearcats, Ross accepts just 40% of LSA applicants, and the average GPA is 3.6. I don’t think one can be merely “competent” and have a good shot of getting into Ross. Competent to me means above average. I would say one would have to do well in LSA to get into Ross.</p>

<p>If you are a good writer and get above a 3.5 in LSA then you stand a very good chance of getting into Ross. It’s just many of the people applying are bad students and even worse writers. It’s not a shoe in, but if you are a (and I will agree with bearcats use of the word ‘competent’) clearly competent student then you’ll very likely get in without any problems.</p>

<p>Do a search… there’s a decent amount of information on the board on what you need to do to get into Ross</p>

<p>Alex, You should know by now that “competent” is a pretty high bar coming from bearcats.</p>

<p>No one else knows that. When he speaks, ignorant kids may be assuming his claims apply to the average person. Alexandre’s reply was valid.</p>
