Calling all Michigan (Ross) Fall 2009 Applicants! : MBA Archive

Yahsek · 2008-07-17T03:38:50-07:00

I looked around and was a bit surprised that no one had made a Michigan thread for 2009 yet. So without further ado, here it is. Who else is considering the Maize and Blue for 2009? Count me in for Round 1! Here are a few Michigan (Ross) related links. Feel free to post any other links that you'd like to see added and I'll try my best to update in a timely manner.

Does anyone know if Ross releases all decisions on Jan 15th or have they ever release any sooner than the decision date?

In last year's thread I think they started calling people before the decision day, but it was in the magnitude of days before.

From last year thread, they started giving out decisions 2-3 days before the official decision date

Judging from years past, the interviews were sent out sporadically with a week or two in between a batch of invitations, so I am not expecting to see any more invites for a few days.

And the false start emails begin. I just got an email from Ross with an application tip on how to choose the right recommenders. Sweet.

To mirror what terp06 has done with the Chicago thread, I have posted updated applicant stats on p.1 of this thread.

Yep, the invites go out in clumps. They're probably be three clumps I would guess. When you get an invite has no bearing on your candidacy, last year I was one of the first to get an interview invite, but almost absolutely last to get an admit call. Its pretty random.

Thanks for the post! It's really nice to get a bit of reassurance from current students!

Not for me. Just received an email from Ross which says that my application is incomplete. So, I scanned my transcript and sent it over to them.

As I was typing the email I received an interview invite from Ross. Anytime between Nov 10th to Dec 3rd I have to attend the interview.
