Hi folks,

I am applying to Ross R2. One recommender already submitted the letter, while the other one is taking his time. Assuming he won't be able to submit it by January 2nd but let's say 2-3 days later, will I still be considered for R2??

deadline is jan 5...so ur all good

Hi mbaseek12
2-4 days delay is completely fine. Even one of my recommenders submitted it two days late.

I hope you guys know that the actual recommendation questions are a little different.
Here it is:

1. How long and in what context have you known the applicant? What is the peer group you are using for your comparison?

2. Please describe the applicant’s strengths and his/her impact on your organization.

3. What are the two or three things you would recommend that the applicant do more of or less of to be more effective as a leader?

4. Our students are involved in classroom experiences and action-based project courses where their active participation is the mechanism for learning.

Thank you souryab for correcting me.

any idea what the exact date for GBR is in March/April 2010?

also - for essay 3 ...is it necessary to have education/qualification to actually pursue it or is just an internet or small experiences in the area sufficient?

my two cents - no qualification is req... only character qualities like patience and active listening for a teacher and interest in the field... some small experiences are sufficient...

thanks GoRoss
