Was accepted to UMich LSA, and waiting for Ross pre-admit results. If I do not get admitted to Ross, what kind of opportunities in IB can I find a Financial Math/CompSci/any other math-heavy major in UMich LSA or would it be better to look at other schools? Thanks

Ross pre admit is hard, most get in after freshmen year. Don't count it out just because you don't get pre admit

I just finished my freshman year at U of M in LSA. I applied to the business school and will hear whether or not I get in in around a month. I had a 4.0, but my extracurriculars and essays might be a little weak. It seems as though the last few years Ross admissions has been very essay/EC weighted. Anyways, if I were to get rejected from Ross and major in Econ, do you think that I could still land a job in IBD? I hope to be able to keep my grades up and graduate with a 3.85 or higher.
You'll be fine. I am an Econ major out of LSA and am headed to a BB (as is a friend of mine). Know your shit and work on your interviewing skills, because ultimately networking and interviewing are what gets you the job, not an extra .1 on your GPA or how many silly extracurriculars you tack on to a resume.
Thanks; this has really given me hope in case things don't work out with Ross. Were you ever able to access some of the on-campus recruiting resources that Ross has? I've heard that it's possible to go to recruiting events and that they don't really check to see if you're in Ross or not.
