The Assured Admissions to KFBS is pretty limited (i.e. they don’t give that many out). You can get admitted to the university without Assured Admission and apply to KFBS after your freshman year. You didn’t mention if you are instate or OOS, which is important for general university admissions which has been discussed extensively on these threads. If you do get Assured Admission, then you are guaranteed admission in KFBS assuming you meet the GPA requirements and complete all prereqs. You would start taking business classes end of sophomore year or junior year, while taking the prereqs your freshman and sophomore year. Assuming you are a senior in HS.

Getting into KFBS is a competitive process if you don’t receive Assured Admissions. It requires a great GPA, completion of prereqs and while not required, participation in business clubs, leadership positions, etc. It is not easy as average GPA is 3.5+ and around 50% are admitted. KFBS is expanding to admit more people but it will be a slow process. I would advise anyone applying to AP out of stats, micro and macro econ, and calculus if possible. Econ and accounting are difficult to get A’s in, so can affect your GPA at UNC.

Seems like a trend to have competitive admissions at some of the top undergraduate business schools, including KFBS and UVA. Understand your wanting the certainty, which is a common complaint, but a competitive process ensures the business schools get the best college students who have prepared themselves for the business world and succeeded in college so far, rather than great high school students with high standardized test scores. Good luck!
