Oh also, if anyone is applying to Ross via Consortium and would like to know more about the process, ranking the schools, what happens after you're in, OP, and the general Ross Consortium family appeal, feel free to ask here or PM and I'd be happy to discuss.

The header "Fall 2012 Full-time MBA Essay Questions" refers to Fall 2012 entry into the program.

Last year I answered all of Carnegie Mellon's questions early, only to find out they were the old ones and were pretty different than the new ones. I was pretty mad at myself but getting some extra thoughts out did help so it wasn't a total loss. Still pretty idiotic...

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?
