ya, but the website (read the first sentence) says students admitted before winter 2012. so that should include fall 2012 students right..
Ross has terminated the no co-signer loan program for incoming International Students and they have no plans to introduce a similar loan option. The school is unable to maintain the program due to many instances of Int'l Students defaulting on their loans (Yes, extremely irresponsible, inconsiderate and unethical bunch of people there). I am sorry to learn that you have been admitted / are likely to be admitted to some great schools but may eventually have to turn down their offers. I know that the Ross Finaid Office is trying to help International Students (or so they claim) by giving out more scholarships this year. That said, with a class size of 500, and the current economic climate, it's unlikely that they will be able to do much unless you are a superstar applicant. I know of some International Students who are unable to attend Ross due to the closure of the no US co-signer loan program. If you are from India, you may however have other financing options. Hope things will work out for you soon! And don't despair even if you are unable to get into Ross/McCombs. These are good b-schools for sure, but there are many other b-schools that are probably a better fit with your current financial situation.
Always remember that an MBA is but only one of the many means to achieve your final goal. You are as great as you want yourself to be
