Which is more difficult to get into COE or Ross?

The only point that needs to be made is that the College of Engineering will let anyone transfer in cross-campus who meet a low minimum GPA (2.5 usually) and passes calc 2, physics, and chem during their freshman year. Yes, those are fairly hard classes, but intro chem and physics are by all means doable and most prospective engineering students come in placed out of at least calc 1 with AP’s.

Ross obviously requires a much higher GPA (3.7+ in most cases) and takes into account extracurriculars, leadership skills, and application essays. Plus you still have to take calc 1 and econ 101 (and 102 sophomore year if you don’t take it freshman year). Once you do all of that, there’s still no guarantee you get in. I’m not saying the Ross curriculum is harder, but it’s clearly the harder school to gain admittance to.

There’s your point rebuttals, and I even did it without commenting on how the majority of CoE students are socially awkward and lack the necessary leadership skills to advance in the modern corporate world! (oops)
