Applying to College

<p>Title says it all. I’ve tried to google but come up with nothing definitive. I’m specifically referencing University of Michigan…something about how Ross biz does pre-admit??</p>

<p>I apologize for my stupidity in advance lolol</p>

<p>I’m not completely sure, but pre-admit might mean a likely letter, in which the college or university sends you a letter that strongly hints at your acceptance, but they are forbidden to officially admit you. This is done quite a bit, and you can usually trust the likely letter.</p>

<p>In Ross’ case, it might mean that you are admitted directly into the Ross Business School, where commonly, the Sophomores of UM apply to get admitted. Your pre-admit would be a direct admittance to Ross as a freshman. </p>

<p>Other than those ideas, I’m not sure.</p>

<p>Guys, Google exists for a reason. There are also tons of threads on preferred admission to Ross here on CC.</p>

<p>Normal admission to Ross is in sophomore year. However, students with strong credential may be admitted as freshmen (or the so-called pre-admit). In other words, pre-admitted students are guaranteed to be in Ross. Admission rate for pre-admit was 18% last year, but it is expected to decrease this year. Around 20% of the class was pre-admitted as freshmen.</p>
