Ross Business Orgs - some questions

Colleges & Universities University of Michigan
1

<p>I got into Global Investments Club (GIC) and I believe have the possibility of taking a leadership position this year (I’m a freshman), due to previous experience.</p>

<p>Other than that, I applied to Asian Business Club for a leadership position and also for membership to Michigan Investment Banking Club (MIBC).</p>

<p>Basically, if I get into MIBC, which one would you choose (MIBC vs GIC) for Ross admissions?</p>

<p>Also, is there anything wrong with doing both (from the Ross application point of view)?</p>

<p>Which of the three are the most reputed in Ross?</p>

<p>Also, I’m taking 12 credits in the first semester (I have almost all the Ross prerequisites through credit). I plan on taking 16 credits next semester for a total of 28 credits, thus meeting the Ross requirement.</p>

<p>Would Ross really mind me taking a light course load in the first semester if I make the requirement and take more in the second semester?</p>

<p>Regarding MIBC, have you been through the process of interview?</p>

<p>The only 3 pre-reqs for Ross are English 125, Calc I, II or III (or some other quantitative reasoning course if you’ve taken all 3) and Econ 101. And you have to take them here. So I’m pretty sure you don’t have the pre-reqs done. Also, it looks kind of ****ty only taking 12 credits one semester if you’re applying to Ross. just my 2 cents</p>

<p>Yes, I got an interview from M IBC and expect to hear back on Friday.</p>

<p>Albatross, I confirmed with LSA and Ross that IB credit for pre requisites does count. The only thing I’m trying to do now is get into the best clubs and get a high GPA.</p>

<p>MIBC does more group work and deals directly with financial models that banks use.</p>

<p>GIC is lecture based, and all of your meetings you will be lectured at (at least from years past and people in the club that I know of).</p>

<p>It really depends on what you want to do because the clubs are vastly different in what they teach…</p>

<p>Source: People I know in those clubs.</p>

<p>Isn’t the content of the clubs vastly different? GIC would be buy-side market stuff where as MIBC would be about how long you could stare at a spreadsheet without gouging your eyes out or about how to change the fonts on a pitch-book quickly.</p>

<p>From what I’ve heard of GIC, I’ve heard that their meetings tend to do with lectures on how global markets and news. They may be different / have changed from before.</p>

<p>I’m more familiar with MIBC because one of my good friends is a board member and he tells me about it. So MIBC does do a lot of spreadsheet analysis, but apparently they have other events as well like bankers coming in. And they also have some sort of a connection with a bank on wall street where people get to do ib work during the year? My friend gets to do that and he says it’s pretty cool.</p>
