Which is more difficult to get into COE or Ross?

but how often do you see someone who’s can make an actual prototype go to a business student? on a much rarer occasion.

That’s a major mistake a lot of pseudo-entrepreneur CoE “hacks” make. You need someone with the know-how on actually creating a business plan from the ground up and growing its profitability in a sustainable way. Tony Fadell came into Ross earlier this year and did an entire chat on just this. Business school students “know what they don’t know” much better than young engineers. You need expertise on both ends.



because a lot more business classes are presentation based. Ross kids don’t come in as social butterflies, their coursework deals a lot more with presentations.

In general yes they do. Social acumen can’t be taught too much, even with consistent presentation. Kids who are drawn to Ross are generally more social because they will be put in a position where they can use social skills to advance their careers more than engineers.



that’s because you left the discussion of transferring first.
