Mine still says "Submitted" but I've finished my interview and even received the "Your application is complete" email.

I just interviewed with a 2008 Ross graduate last night. We spoke for about 40 minutes. Here's basically how it went:

Brief overview of resume.
Why an MBA? Why now? Why Ross?
Leadership example.
What's your leadership style?
Teamwork example.
What clubs/activities would you pursue while at Ross?
Anything you didn't cover in your application you want to discuss/share?
Questions for interviewer?

That was about it. Seems short but I covered a lot of ground in my responses. Often times my answers would lead the discussion into a different topic. For example, my leadership style response transitioned into some talk about action-based learning and MAP. While discussing clubs and activities, we touched on the importance of developing strong bonds with your classmates and the collaborative culture. Overall, no surprises. Just know how Ross fits you and how you fit Ross and you'll be golden.

Great..Thanks for the debrief YihWei. I was curious to know whether there are any out of the box questions given that Ross conducts invite only interviews. So this definitely helps.

Just know and be ready to answer questions about things unique to the Ross program. Try to identify times during your career or life where you've "put thought into action" and maybe have an example of what you might like to pursue for a MAP project. Everything else should just be your basic goals, teamwork, leadership, EC questions.

Guys who are still waiting on interviews (me included), don't despair! If you check out the Wharton thread, 45% got invites this year, which is pretty close to last year's numbers.

Last year 83% of Ross R1 applicants got invites and so far, only 43% have so far this year!

I'm thinking there has got to be at least one more big group of invites that has yet to go out.

Based on last year's timeline, my prediction is that the 2nd wave of interview invitations will go out next week, and then the 3rd wave the week after Thanksgiving. If you haven't already, take a few minutes and flip through last year's Ross thread.

what can we do?
YihWei
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.

If you don't get at least an interview invite ryguy, then something is wrong. I've seen your profile and the fact you got a Cornell invite and it sounds like it went well, means to me that you'll HAVE to get an interview at least!!

Thanks buddy. I appreciate all the support that I can get during this painful process. Hope things work out well for both of us by the time it's all said and done.
