Which is more difficult to get into COE or Ross?

2.5 GPA isn’t doing you any favors. You’ll realistically want to get at least a 3.0.

3.0? In freshman year? So difficult…



and pretty much every big tech company’s executive board you can think of had a technical degree to begin with.

You think that might have something to do with them being a big tech company??? Oh, and Steve Ballmer has a BA in econ and math and an MBA.



Put a engineering kid in any business student’s job position and he can at least do some of it.

Ha



If you’re arguing that Econ 102 is a rigorous class, you’re not doing yourself any favors.

I did very well in both 101 and 102, but a lot of people struggle immensely with those classes because it requires a certain way of thinking. A lot of engineers never take intro econ and brush it off as an easy class, when in reality they wouldn’t necessarily do that well. Only 15% of the class actually gets an A.



They’re not too big on extra-curriculars and leadership skills especially when you’re only 5 months into college. any leadership position is easily acquired because there are so many clubs on campus that nobody really cares about

Extracurriculars actually count for 33% of the value on your Ross app, which of course you wouldn’t know because you’ve never gone through the process. And you list relevant leadership you had in high school as well, a lot of which does provide a great background to move into business.



I never said that Transfer difficulty COE > Ross.
I said COE = Ross.

And you’d still be wrong unfortunately. So many of my friends moved from LSA to CoE with extreme ease after one semester. They literally just went to engineering’s admissions office, got a form to fill out, and were transferred over the next day. Not all of them had stellar GPA’s or great grades in chem and physics. It’s just not that hard to move over there.
