I have a question 🙋♀️ by being waitlisted, I should not expect to receive a scholarship even if I get admitted, right?

A friend received a scholarship from Ross post WL upgradation. He was WL in R1. For those getting WL in R2, it’ll be tricky since the coffers would empty by the time the WL results come in

Congratulations to all folks who got admission. For those who were rejected, I can have a look at your applications and tell you possible pitfalls (no charges). This would make sense for applicants who plan on applying in 2026. Share your applications with me at contact@mbadecoder.com Namita Founder, http://www.MBAdecoder.com

Not true because R1 and R2 both waitlisting are going to be looked together. Atleast that is what clearly written in their email of my frnd who got waitlisted in R1 so not sure where is this info coming from Is this year info which you are quoting ?

They say may 1st. Wouldn’t it be too late for us internationals considering the plathora of visa process?

No Isn’t it a waitlist get converted one an already offered person from R1 / R2 leave its seat Then in that case how does it impact the scholarship because that person’ scholarship amount just get release..
