Folks, Feel free to reach out to me here or via PM as a resource. I was a reapp last year in R2 and was accepted.

Hi,
I am not sure if I will be applying to Ross. Got a reject from Ross last year and apparently Ross doesn't provide feedback. So I am a little confused about reapplying.
The info mentioned above in the first post (of this thread) mentions: "Total Full-Time MBA Enrollment 1046". If I am not mistaken isn't the class size for Ross around 500. Am I correct?

Ross' site mentions that they would not consider me as a reapplicant as I had applied last to last year rather than last year. Will they still have a look at my original app?

The school doesn't say if it keeps your application if beyond one year, that being said, if you log in to Wolverine access (you should have access since you were once an applicant) it will show there all your application attempts. This leads me to believe everything is stored electronically. Deciding on if it's worth it to reapply: The best thing to do is find someone you know who is either in a similarly ranked MBA program or recently finished his/her MBA program and spend an hour or so doing a profile eval. You'll need to cover A-Z of the app (your GMAT, resume, essays, people you selected for LOR, etc.). I was fortunate enough to have someone (a yr1 Ross MBA) help me with my reapp and the factor that he said killed my app was my essays were very generic. They didn't make me stand out. After a LOT of time investment, I revamped the essays and had a different reply this time around. I've heard from people at other top 10 programs (Wharton, HBS, etc.) say schools do not like reapps unless something significantly changes in your profile, but I didn't get that vibe through my reapp with Ross.

The info mentioned above in the first post (of this thread) mentions: "Total Full-Time MBA Enrollment 1046". If I am not mistaken isn't the class size for Ross around 500. Am I correct? 500 in one class (for example, those graduating in 2013) and 500 in the other (those graduating in 2014). TOTAL enrollment = two classes. Is your confusion about whether or not you should apply or about why you were rejected? The answer to the first is easy--yes you should if you want to! The other depends. Common reasons that lead to rejection: 1) Stats (GPA/GMAT) were low 2) Career goals were fuzzy 3) You come from a common group (indian male, american finance male) and didn't stand out (i.e your essays were boring like mohater said) 4) They weren't convinced you really liked their school 5) Your work experience was lack-luster. Hope that helps a bit.

I am also an applicant to Ross. Its a great school indeed. But I will apply next year as I'm not ready completely. I'm here to learn more about the admissions process of the school. Your posts have been a great help.

Guys for the goals essay (300 Words), how many words do you think should be dedicated to the why School section? This is the shortest career goals essay I've seen in any app and I'm not sure what the division should be between the Goals and the Why School section.

Look at the word limit at an advantage - focus on key differentiating factors that make you stand out. I personally prefer shorter word count. It forces you to operate in a much more limited space.

I personally prefer shorter word count. It forces you to operate in a much more limited space. I agree. It teaches you how to be clear and succinct. Instead of wasting time rambling, you must stay focused and only include relevant and meaningful details about yourself. After Ross and Cornell essays, which are both short, I began to love the short essays, and in longer essays I got better at having extra space to include details that fit in the essay but added a new dimension to my background. Such as not only did I create the companies new internal financial reports but I trained the other controllers how to use them (creativity and communication).
