[quote=Anonymous]"    Unless DC is an A student with some sort of business experience, don't let him apply to Wisconsin as an out of state student directly to the business school. Apply to L&S and transfer over.

Horrible advice."

Not horrible advice, this advice will increase a student's chances of getting a business degree from Wisconsin, Slightly.

However, as someone else said, most people are more comfortable being directly admitted and having a straight path to graduation.

To make up numbers, the straight path might offer a 50% chance of admission to business and a 90% chance of graduation once enrolled.  That is a 45% chance of completing the path.

The advice might offer a 70% chance of admission to LS an 80% chance of transfer to business and a 95% chance of graduation once enrolled.  That is a 53% chance of completing the path.

The problem is that many see the group that get into LS but not business as having a big problem.

But really most of this group would never have been accepted to business straight away and this is the way they can build themselves a second chance.[/quote]
