Calling all Michigan (Ross) Fall 2009 Applicants!

Has anyone decided whether they think the super-day invite is a positive indicator or a negative indicator (relatively speaking)?

My opinion would be that it is a very positve thing as they are trying to showcase thier university. I would almost view it as an accpeted unless you totally blow it type thing. I unfortunately have not been invited to anything. In closing I would be pretty jacked if I were you and was invited to the Super Interview ( terrible name by the way)

Done with Interview!

I was interviewed by a second year student. Few others were interviewed by adcom. The interview was exactly 30 minutes, I wish it was a bit longer!

Walk through your resume
Describe your goals
Why Ross
Leadership experiences
Tough time handling a team member
Any questions for me

I wasn't asked anything about my extra curricular activities, which really upset me. I had 1000 things to talk about. I guess they were strictly following the time limit!

The Discover Ross event was amazing! The caliber of other prospective students attending the event was outstanding.
We did a case workshop as well - the best part of the event.

Oh and I also met Darden2010, it was really fun chatting with her.

Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck to all.

This would be my guess as well.

Hello folks,

Congrats to all the interviewees.

I am an applicant for R1 too. But I did not post sofar as only yday I heard from Ross that my app is incomplete. When I called them I found out that they goofed up and because of that my app has not even been passed on to admissions committee so far. It is now supposed to be forwarded for review. I hope this whole goof up does not hurt my chances. What do you folks think?

If the mistake was on their end then I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Hi

I got a similar mail from an admission assistant; that I forgot to give an imp detail( degree & date awarded). However, I checked my application and it seems fine to me:-|. Well...I guess I will call them now and clarify!

Any more invites? Is it a good idea to check with the adcoms on the status of the application?

Thats the exact same thing I received. Its a good idea to call them and find out.

just skipped a heartbeat when i saw a mail frm "Ross Admissions" . turns out its a reminder for the survey they sent out some time back....

in this techno savy world cant they just run a query and send the batch email to those who have not completed it instead of givin all of us minor attacks!

can someone give the suject line for the mail with interview invites? atleast tht will save another attack!

The emails subject was "Ross School of Business Interview"
And the email sender was "Application Interview for MBA"
So you know what to look for now

Just received an invite to the Michigan Super Saturday thing. Ann Arbor is so far...looks interesting though, and I really should check out the school. Need to think about it, my travel budget is getting low.

Congrats nomsg7111. 3rd GmatClubber to be invited for Super Saturday. Way to go !!

Yes I was pretty excited when I got the invitation. Its a great school. I want to check out Michigan. But it'll be at least $350 for a flight, plus hotel and transportation. We're talking at least $500. I need to think of this as an investment...

Which weekend is this?

I just got an email from Ross Admissions that my application is complete and currently under review by the admissions comittee. Did anyone else get this prior to an interview invite or did I just get an informal ding?

I just got one of those as well. Weird. I have the same suspicion (informal ding).
