I have a question about selecting the round of application.

I understand that Ross conducts team exercises/group interviews only after the 2nd deadline, and encourages everyone to participate in them. Does it mean that round 1 applicants run a risk of being put on the wait list until they can participate later in these team exercises? And if the answer to the above question is yes, is an international applicant (non-native English speaker) better-off applying in round 2 than in round 1?


You are not penalized for not attending the team exercise. It is only used as an additional material that may or may not help improve your profile.

I am an international student but did not attend the team exercise. Still got in regardless.

I've got a quick question about the Ross app. I'm working on mine now and am a little confused as to why there is both and optional essay (300 word limit) and an "additional information" portion. I am guessing the essay should be used to address possible shortcomings (gaps in work ex, low gpa, etc) but I am unsure what to populate the additional information section with (if anything?). Any insight would be appreciated.


I would love to know more about this question, too.

Does anyone have any advice for what type of information should/could be submitted for the "Additional Information Upload" on pg. 10 of Ross's application? It says, "If you need to provide additional information not provided in another part of the application, please upload below. Include your name and the type or purpose of the document in the header for identification."

Is this an opportunity to detail extracurricular activities that couldn't fit elsewhere in the application?

Thanks in advance!


That pretty much fits the bill. I, myself, used that section to address gaps in my application. It was brought up by my interviewer before which was a good way to differentiate yourself.

Are international applicants who want to participate in the team exercise better off applying in Round 2?

I am from India. Thinking about whether to apply in Round 1 or 2. The Ross website says that they will conduct team exercise in Delhi in Round 2. But I couldn't see any confirmed dates. Can someone please shed light on this?

Can someone add what is the deadline for R1 ? The website only says October 5, 2015 but does not detail the time. Is it 5 PM EST or 12 midnight EST ?

They will all come out in one single wave, roughly 2 week from now (that was the pattern last year). Soojin will announce this date on her blog soon.

For now - chill. Enjoy the calm before the storm :)
