The recommender email id has to be professional is only, did they say anything about this in any webinar? Can't find info on site about this.
The official email id from their current organization should be preferred. If you can’t provide the official email id, you need to provide the reason behind the same.

There is always another box in the recommenders form that asks for alt email where one can put professional email
While using personal

In optional u only write when one is using someone else as for recommendation as against their direct boss

School know that there are compliances for external link hence that optional email box is given

If u put professional one there
Clarity is built with no doubts.

Better to ask the adcom because I have been in a session where someone asked the same question and they had asked to provide an explanation

Schools generally allow applicants to submit revised scores. However, there is no guarantee that they will re-evaluate your application if it has already been reviewed and you were not invited for an interview

Put your full name and the question being answered at the top of each page and use at least 11 point font and 1.5 line spacing for each essay question.

Do not include any other self-identifying information in your essays such as social security number or date of birth.

Essays may be submitted to a third party vendor to detect for submissions that may contain plagiarized content.

Ross graduate admissions recognizes the appropriate use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools for providing guidance and suggestions. If you use Artificial Intelligence (AI) software in the creation of your essay answers, you are required to use the APA in-text citation "Personal Communication." Rule: (Communicator, personal communication, Month Date, Year); example: (OpenAI, personal communication, January 16, 2023).

There is a section in the application where they are asking to list out all the referrals

But ross adcoms specifically said in 1 session that they don't have any official referral system. Then why they are asking for it here??

Also can we write directly that XYZ student has referred us, or in a more indirect way?

you need to mention in the bottom of your essay. in this format: you are required to use the APA in-text citation "Personal Communication." Rule: (Communicator, personal communication, Month Date, Year); example: (OpenAI, personal communication, January 16, 2023).

this doesnt add to word count. so you can mention after your essay and upload the pdf

Hi folks, can someone confirm the questions to the recommender and word limit for Ross?

I found the following online on ARINGO

1. Please provide a brief description of your interaction with the applicant and, if applicable, the applicant’s role in your organization. (50 words) (textbox)

2. How does the performance of the applicant compare to that of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles? Please provide specific examples. (E.g. what are the applicant’s principal strengths? (500 words) (textbox)

3. Describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant’s response. (500 words) (textbox)

4. (Optional) Is there anything else we should know? (textbox)

And do they ask the recommender to upload a word file - if yes, what are the formatting requirements?
