Hi,

I have a question for re-applicants. Where in the online application are you all submitting the cover letter. Is it supposed to go in the optional information or should we email it to directly to the admission office?

Thanks in advance,
Vineet

Does anyone know of Ross looks favorably upon reapplicants? Is the acceptance rate same for reapplicants or higher than other applicants?

Ross traditionally has one of the highest reapplicant acceptance rates, you can check out BW historical data.

In the application, there is this option:
"Do you waive the right to view the recommendation?"

If I say no, does it mean that I can see what my recommender has written??

Correct. However, I would recommend waiving it, because it says that you trust your recommender. On the other hand, if you don't trust your recommender, there's no point asking for a recommendation from that person in the first place.

In the previous employment section, I a see only 2 tables. So they want info on only your last 2 jobs? Or am I missing a button somewhere that lets you add more?

There are only 2 sections that allow you to type up your most meaningful work experiences post-undergrad. However, if there are even more work experiences that you believe are good experiences, put them on your resume.

For your information, as we wind down the first round deadline, please let me know (either reply on this thread or PM me) if you have actually applied/deferred a round/changed your mind on applying to Ross. I will make the necessary changes on the frontpage. Thanks!

I am doing the final touches for my application. I've uploaded the essays and resume but need to do so again since I revised one of them. I was filling my GMAT scores and realized that my 5.5/6 in AWA is at 77%! Really? Do most people score 6/6 - quite interesting! I know AWA matters less but the % was surprising!

Not most, but nearly 23% :)

It's obviously quite a bit easier to get a perfect AWA than it is to get a perfect Q or V score. I'm .in the same boat as you, AWA 5.5.

That puts things in perspective, Avernusaur and bakfed.
Looks like 10% of people score 6/6 and 23% score 5.5 or greater.
