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.

Yeah, I got this email as well. For those of us still anxiously waiting for an interview, I think we can obviously interpret this email as a ding, since they are offering us application tips for next year. :lol:

Edit: I just glanced through the pictures of the new facilities, and they look awesome. I could definitely live with having to spend two years studying there!

I really wish that schools, upon receiving an application, would institute a moratorium on superfluous emails! My heart skips a beat every time I get an email from Ross with an Application Tip, or an email from Tuck about their school. I already interviewed, and I still get nervous!

I know about the school already! That's WHY I APPLIED! :wink:

I doubt.... A lot of people got these tips earlier and some of them got interview calls subsequently...

Everyone on their mailing list gets the application tips. It doesn't mean anything.

I understand you, but I think it is difficult for schools to implement that... with so many factors involved, schools might not want to do that...

Okay, I was joking. Sorry that my bad jokes don't read. Just poking fun at the folks constantly reading meaning into meaningless mass emails.

Oh Ok...I've just become really attached to Ross in the last few weeks after spending a lot of time reading about it. I'm really anxious to find out if I get admitted.

Ok. I am not able to copy paste the exact email as it has quite a few images. But there are 2 important things in the email. First is the new building and second is Application Tip No #4

. And here is the link to the new building:
https://www.bus.umich.edu/newhome/

Also if you really really want to see the email, just PM me the email Id and I can forward it to you. But you are not missing a lot anyways.
