Hi just wanted to ask a generic question, if I qualify for an English language proficiency test waiver as per the university's terms and conditions. Do I still need to take one?
Considering I am an international student, will it be required at during my VISA procedure?
No, you dont have to take an english proficiency test if you qualify for it, especially for Ross. My partner got in last year and he didnt have to take it

What makes Michigan Ross different from other top MBA programs? In our new GMAT Club Podcast episode, we go inside Michigan Ross with Lysa Wang from Ross Admissions to discuss the school’s action-based learning model, the MAP project, Ann Arbor, career support, AI in the MBA curriculum, and what Ross really looks for in applicants.

📌 Watch the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jWHC4lHPf0

👉 Subscribe to MBA Club Channel for Upcoming podcasts, admit stories, & more https://www.youtube.com/@mba_club?sub_confirmation=1

One of the most timely parts of the conversation: how Ross thinks about AI-written MBA essays — and why your application still needs to sound like you.

Hi,

Your academics are strong, and graduating from IIEST Shibpur with an 8.9 CGPA is a positive. Your international experience at Amazon in London is a differentiator, and having experience across two well-known technology companies strengthens your profile. A GMAT Focus score of 665 is within Ross's competitive range, though a higher score could provide an additional boost if the rest of your application isn't exceptional. For your application, focus on demonstrating leadership, ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and measurable impact rather than just technical contributions. You haven't shared many details about your work experience, extracurricular activities, promotions, awards, leadership initiatives, or community involvement, so it's difficult to assess your profile comprehensively. It would also help to know your post-MBA goals and whether Ross is your only target school or if you're applying to other programs as well. That additional context would make it easier to provide more specific guidance on your school selection and application strategy.

Happy to connect if you’d like to discuss your profile in more detail.

Hey adi2698
Your college name is relatively unknown in the MBA AdCom circles, though your excellent GPA helps you offset that a little bit.
Despite your ORM profile (Indian Male Engineer) however, your WE with a MAANG company, especially in an extremely competitive London location, and the sweet spot in your WE enough to give you a track record to pick your accomplishment stories from, while also being at the stage in your career where you are certain to not merely learn a lot in the class, but also be able to contribute very well to your class will favour you very well.

The GMAT of 665 however, for your profile may be a challenge for Ross. I would be a lot more comfortable with 685+. Of course, a 705 could get you a chance at high scholarships beyond merely admits.

Finally, you seem to have chosen Ross, without giving any reasons why Ross is the one. Also, your career goals post MBA will impact your application results a lot.

Hope that helps. For a Free Assessment over a 1:1 call, please submit your profile https://theivyleagueedge.com/index.php/contactus/

1. A higher GMAT score will surely help
2. The international experience and experience at Amazon really help.

Other than this, I will need to understand specific details about your work experience, exactly what you do, your achievements and your career goals. Ross values well-rounded profiles, so it's pertinent to also ask about your extra curricular activities and how you engage with others outside work
