1. Most schools have admissions ambassadors or club representatives willing to talk to applying students. Reach out to them. If you can't find the information on the website, call admissions.
2. A lot of people on this thread have already said to use it as leverage. Just call the financial aid office, say you have an offer at another school that you're considering, and see if they'll match it or do something. Granted this entire thread is moot if you don't get into Ross.

1. Reach out to the adcom and ask them to set you up with some current students and alumni that share your goals. Like I said above, these schools want to make sure you come (lest you hurt their yields) and should be willing to connect you with people in your interest area.
2. Lots of people have done this in the past. I'd suggest searching the forum to see some examples of what you can say.

That is my current understanding as well. I asked quite a few students the same question and all of them said that its damn difficult to switch streams; not impossible, but difficult. Most of them rated it a 8 or 9 on a scale of 10.
On a different note, I agree with Kingfalcon. It would be fun to know what Marshall students are doing at these big media houses. For e.g., I guess a person from marketing FMCG might be fine with switching to marketing in the Entertainment industry. But how many from lets say finance or IT are now in a marketing profile in the Ent. industry? I think this is what truly defines if its easy to make a large career transition vs. just switching industries.
