The Duke admit weekend is that weekend as well. Seems like a lot of schools really like that first weekend in April.

Generally the week of. For example, the R1 decision deadline was Thursday 1/15. Admit phone calls started going out on Monday 1/12.

How'd your interview go?

I think it went well, I was prepared for all the questions and I told my stories. Now I have to wait and see if my stories were good enough. The interviewer was very nice and I have felt quite comfortable during the time we have been speaking.

how did you guys turn in your GMAT scores for U Mich. I wrote my score in but didnt turn in any supporting doc. I dont remember there being an upload button to upload my copy but I may not be remembering correctly.

I ask cause I recd and email asking me to submit and I did by sending my copy. I figure I don't need to send the official scores yet but wanted to double check. This happened yesterday so I guess my app is only just being started to be reviewed now? I hope that explains why i have not recd an interview invite :lol:

It's really a tough call. I've heard amazing things about GBR. However, I'm already sold on Michigan/Ross. In fact, I really bealieve that it is the ideal place for me in terms of "fit." On the other hand, I'm not 100% sold on Cornell yet. It's not that my experience when I visited the campus back in November sucked (because it didn't, it was still quite good), it's just that there is too much of a gap between how much I love Michigan and how I feel about Cornell. From that standpoint, I think it makes more sense to attend Destination Johnson to give Cornell a chance to see if it can close the gap...I think that will be the most beneficial choice in terms of ultimately making my decision on which school to attend. That's where I'm at as of now, at least. :?

As I recall, there is actually only a spot to list the date of the gmat exam that you wanted the school to use. There was no place on the app to list score, percentiles, etc. Not sure why you'd get that email, unless that field was left blank...

Fugo, I can be wrong, but Umich requires official score AT DUE DATE. It was the only one that does, so you need to go to GMAC and send your score to Ross. I actually called them about it because the application required it. The lady said as long as I paid the 28 dollar sending fee to the GMAC for Ross, they can actually access my score from their computers.

Since I did it last minute, I just uploaded a scanned copy of my results under transcript 3. (that was what the lady suggested in case they didn't get it in time)

Let me know if this helps. Ross' application doesn't ask for score I think. They get it directly for your official report.

most helpful Thanks to all of you.

For now, I have sent the score along via email. I guess i should just go ahead and pay the $28 and have it sent officially too.

interesting - as I was writing this i recd an email from ross letting me know she had added it to my file.

I sent them email to check where should I put in my iBT score, since I was afraid ETS could not catch up the deadline. They replied that I can attach the softcopy at the page "other(or additional) information". I did that and have received interview.

i'm an r2 applicant and recently had a local interview with an alumni and wanted to share what it was like. i've been to campus already, met current students, alums, and adcom while i was there, so opted to do my interview locally.

my interviewer is a recent alum and had a prepared set of questions to ask me. she set it up as a 30 min interview with time to ask questions at the end. she stayed true to that time by doing time checks throughout. her question were very standard and it was pretty much her going down her list of questions, with some follow-up based on what i said. prepping the most likely questions you'd expect to be asked was enough.

these are the questions i can remember:
- walk me through your resume and how it relates to what you want to do in the future
- why do you want an mba?
- how will your background and skills from previous job prepare you for business school? (this is the only one i hadn't anticipated)
- why ross?
- tell me about a teamwork experience
- tell me about a time you worked with someone difficult
- tell me about a time you experienced a big disappointment, either personally or professionally. what did you learn?
- how would people you've coached describe what it's like to work with you? (i don't manage people, but do work with people less tenured than me)
- you've talked about your involvement in XXX (an outside extra-curricular similar to a club at ross). how would you contribute to your classmates during class?
- what is your greatest weakness?

after that, i spent about 20 minutes asking questions and we went closer to an hour than the 45 minutes she had laid out in the beginning. i've got a pretty good understanding of ross, so my questions were geared towards her experiences - and that's always a good tactic to take if you're at a loss for questions to ask. students and alums who interview volunteer to do so because they love their schools. so they will love to talk about that with you :).

other resources to check out would be the accepted.com interview feedback database and clearadmit's summaries.
if you want a fairly exhaustive list of questions, i've got a pretty good compilation here - p558169#558169.
rhyme's also got a good write up here - 103-t55030

good luck!

thanks peaceyall for the details of the interview. Really helpful.
Finally when all hope has faded, i have received a beacon of light. Got the interview for Ross. Now its upto me to use that beacon to reach the end of this long MBA admissions process tunnel.

I am based in Singapore, so i am trying to ask for an Alumni interview. I am going to put my second choice as phone interview. Has anyone else got interviewed in Singapore or over the phone? Any tips for me would be appreciated.

I am scheduled to complete my interview before Feb 20th.

Just came back from Ann Arbor interview
There were quiet a few people with me.. i guess around 15 interviewing..
I also had an interview for Tauber [which i requested]...
Ross interview was okay... a few things i could have answered in much better way.... Tauber was much worse.
My interviewer was way too relaxed.. he didn't see my resume, asked me if i had an extra copy - which i did..
Some unusual questions were:
Which other schools have you applied? How would you make a selection if you got into all of them?
Whats the news that you have been following? After answering the 819 billion bailout.. the followup question was do you support it.. what would you like to change in it...

He was from SFO, so we had a few things to talk about the city

I blew my Tauber interview... It was with the managing director of the program and i was damm nervous...got over in 15 mins max..

Overall, Ross experience was very good. Weather was kind to me.
New building, faculty and students were all very friendly.
This year, they are doing to Bahamas for M-trek.
