Calling all Ross 2010 applicants!

How important to attend the Ross's Go Blue ? For international student, that is not fun as you have to afford at least 2 K to pay for all travel and still later once decide to matriculate another 2K.

It seems like they almost finish calling.

Lets count: 20 mins to call or email each admitted student. On average they start the call from 12 pm until 5 pm so total is 15 students per day for each person. It seems like we receive call from 3 ladies, so total call, email per day is 45. So for 5 days this week we have total 225 admitted student this round. Thats, I think, the upper bound.

Cheer,

I think the GBR's value is in meeting fellow students and finding housing, not the info sessions.

I'm doing a dual so I've been here for the past year working on the other degree, and I'd recommend securing housing fast. Decent housing with good rents have already gone or will go soon. I started looking in June last year and had a really tough time finding housing that wasn't shady without paying a hefty premium.

I heard three apartment complexes mentioned: Woodbury Gardens, The Ponds at Georgetown, and Lake Village, though Woodbury seems to be the most popular. I think Woodbury is something like 1.5 miles south of the b-school building.

Yeah, I think that's fairly optimistic. I have not given up all hope yet, but I'm sure close.

Sorry, just signed up to post on gmatclub. In at Ross on Monday.

Don't give up! They'll be making calls until tomorrow [/quote]


I would like to believe you, unfortunately I just dont think thats the case. Only 1 call yesterday and none today?

I read on another forum that someone did that yesterday and the answer was "All candidates will find out their decision on Monday".

Started a Admitted thread over in the business life. Called Woodbury garden, I'm definitely leaning there, dogs are 30 dollars a month. Also they have a 9 month contract, and the lady said that for MBA students they have special deals to deal with the summer internship.

Also got a email to join the googlegroup for Class of 2012. I don't think I'll join since I'm not a big fan of that stuff.

Have fun!

Ok, since to scholarship for me, I will go to Cornell with $$$!

Applied Round 3, March 1st. Received interview invite today.

6WE Operations&Product Dev / 710 / Intl in US

Good luck to other Round 3 and WL applicants

I've been anguished by this requirement for as long as I've been living in my current townhouse. UPS sucks so bad about this that I wrote a letter to Amazon asking them to stop using UPS. Here's what I've been able to gather: if you live in a multi-unit housing type (like in a townhouse, condo, or apartment), UPS is always going to require a signature (though FedEx and USPS don't). If you live in a single-family detached house, it's likely the driver will be OK to leave a parcel without a signature UNLESS the sender paid extra to guarantee that it would be signed for upon receipt (I can't imagine Ross's literature vendor would pay extra for something like that).

I have to believe that you can always pick it up at the UPS distribution center regardless of whether the sender paid for the signature requirement; I've been to my local UPS distro many times, and it's never been a problem.

UPS makes 3 attempts at delivery before they send it back. If you need to pick it up at the distribution center, you'll need to request that they hold it there for you before the third attempt.

At UPS.com, select your country, click "Find Locations" on the navigation menu at the left, type in your Zip Code, and deselect all of the location types except "UPS Customer Center".

haha, I'm gonna pay also, but just leaving the money in to get more interest... (gotta switch back to college saving mode. That's 5 dollars of interest you can be getting!

Is it just me, or does the Ross Google Group seem too sterile? Maybe people are wanting to make good first impressions by not putting anything on the line (because it's not anonymous). I'm certainly not contributing a whole lot there b/c I fear being judged.

I think I was one of the only ones who didn't say what I did in my intro-I thought that was what the spreadsheet was for. So the first 100 person thread looks like investment banker, consultant, leper based non-profit, I went to debate camp at Michigan in 1994, y'all! (me), banker, consultant, limbless cat non-profit...

I like some of the threads the R2 admits started like "who's with me on not running" and "dancers unite" and such. But yeah, I'm definitely self-censoring and I'm likely to do so for the rest of business school, actually. I mean, things like "limbless cat non-profit" crack me up but I worry about hurting other people's feelings. I'm just kind of a glib person.

GoBruins, I'm debating over whether to ship my stuff or sell it right now. I don't have anything particularly nice or of value (bought my furniture when I was clerking). I may be up for it depending on what you get as a quote-my concern is that I'll probably be moving in at the very end of August, right before RLI-my parents said they'd come out with me to supervise people, so it's a matter of deciding whether I want to buy all new IKEA furniture and set it up on weekends or have my parents supervise people moving my old stuff in to the apartment. I don't know what's cheaper as of yet.

For you California kids - I moved from Oakland to Chicago a couple of years ago and put all my belongings on Amtrak. It cost about $100 to ship everything I own. Highly recommended.

Hey, it was great meeting some of you at the event in DC tonight! If I end up choosing Ross, I know I will be in very good company.

And, as promised: Hot Tub Time Machine was awesome!!!
