I hate to be that guy but seriously, those who didn't get an invite (that includes me too), lets just move on?

B-School applications have always been a black box and it is the schools prerogative to invite the applicants it does. If you think that Ross has been unfair to you maybe you should read the stories of who Harvard dinged this year (https://poetsandquants.com/2015/10/25/yo ... his-month/). And I get the feeling - I have been rejected twice by Ross, both the times without an invite, I took the GMAT twice between last time and now and even hired an expensive admissions consultant this time- to say that I am disappointed will be an understatement. But you have to move on knowing that these schools are able to maintain their top quality only by doing what they do. The application process is a black box and you knew that going in. Keep telling yourself this - you have to get into just ONE school.

All those who have invites and those who are preparing for Round 2, I think you guys should take over the discussion from here on. For those of us rejected, let's just wait till December to see what Ross has planned for us.



Speaking as someone who got invited to Michigan Ross AND appeared in that poets x quants article, I agree with this comment. Am I upset that I got dinged by HBS? Sure.

But I get it.

There are lots of incredibly talented people who apply to that school and all of these other great institutions. There's no sense being bitter about the process -- you have to do your best to present yourself, but at the end of the day, we all WANT to get into these schools, and a big part of the reason is BECAUSE they are so incredibly selective. Getting some dings is part of the process that enables that selectivity.

When you go on a long drive, do you return home when you see the first two lights 'Red'?! Just keep at it buddies, and there shall be light at the enjd of the tunnel! (Hopefully, it's not an incoming train! Thats not an original btw!) :lol:

I have not received any communication from Ross, no WL, no reject and no interview call. Is it only me or are there anyone like me? If so, what shall I expect now?

For those interviewing on Nov 23rd, a groupme group was formed a short while ago. This should facilitate interactions among interviewees before and after that date. You can coordinate ride-shares to and from the airport, arrange tours of Ann Arbor, etc. Please check your inbox for invites.

Folks,
Among those of you who were invited to interview, did you receive an email or was there an update on the application portal?

I received an email containing a link to another Ross website. I was able to schedule the interview after creating a new login profile on that new website. There has been no update on the application portal right from when I submitted the application till date. Will be interviewing on campus tomorrow. Good luck to everyone.

I've heard that, at Ross, the students have access to jobs posted on other MBA programs' job boards.

Does anyone here know details about how that works? :?:

Hey,

Do we need one recommender or two for ROSS?
As there are 2 recommendation questions but it says "We require one recommendation letter".
Is it so that one recommender should answer both the questions?
Can anyone please help me on this?

From Ross Website:
We require only one recommendation letter. We highly recommend selecting a recommender who can discuss your professional performance and work style. A current or former supervisor is an ideal choice. Other alternatives include a client, project manager, or professional mentor. Your application is not considered complete until we receive your recommendation.

Once you register your recommender on the application, an email will be sent with instructions on how to access the recommendation form and submit it electronically.

How do the candidate’s performance, potential, or personal qualities compare to those of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles? Please provide specific examples. (250 words)
Please describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant’s response. (250 words).


Thanks in advance!

Pooja,

You only need 1 recommendation letter that will cover both the questions. From an earlier post in this thread I believe you can also ask a Ross Alum or Current student to give you an additional letter of recommendation.

In the application status page, when you download a pdf copy of the form you submitted, do the Extra-Curriculars and Awards Section fields become empty ???
I was shocked when I downloaded this today and saw that the entire section was empty :|
Can someone else also check if this is the case?

Yes. I saw the same thing but only realized it later for FT MBA program application, EC section was locked and it was mentioned that this section isn't required for FT MBA applications.

I'll apply to Ross in Round-2.
The application portal mentions 1" margins all around for the resume. Is that something every applicant here has been following stringently? Any idea how stringent would this suggestion be?
I've been following a 0.7" margin all around since months - having eventually reached a point where alumni didn't have additional feedback on resume :) Making it fit in 1" is making it 1 1/2 page with each bullet being a line plus 1-2 words! :-(

am already at 10 font size, and times new roman, and pretty much had optimized each bullet to fit max content is 1 line each.

Suggestions would really help!! :)

I have applied to round 1 and was invited to an interview. I used margins less than 1" and there was no issue. Hope this helps.

Thanks jaykim0507 ! ... I asked 2 friends outside gmatclub - 1 followed 1", 1 followed 0.4" ...
not following it will make it seem we can't follow basic instructions, following it means shredding the resume content :(

optimusTR, as you too interviewed with Ross - did you and people known to you follow the 1" margins? :)
