Is anyone scheduling a phone interview? When I tried to schedule mine online none of the slots available showed up as a phone interview, only in-person. I called the admissions office and left a message to see if it was a glitch or if there really aren't any phone interview slots left, but haven't heard back from them yet.

Just curious if anybody is headed to the super saturday thing this weekend? Starting to prepare for it, and wanting to know whether my interviewer will be adcom, 2nd year, or alumni...

Looking forward to visiting the campus, although the 2 hour time change is going to make it that much harder to get up in the morning = P.

I asked about this and was told that it will be an adcom member. The interviewer will only have your resume and will not have previously reviewed your application.

Hmm...thanks for the tip. Wished it was a second year student, but adcom is fine. I enjoy students more, I feel the interview is a bit more casual...

Actually, I misspoke. I just went back and reviewed my email. There was no mention of whether it is an adcom or 2nd year interviewing. The only mention was that the interview will have only reviewed your resume before hand. Sorry for the confusion!

Well here's hoping for an easy second year interview....

adcoms are too serious. hard to relate to them b/c they are older too.

I had my interview with a 2nd year, and while I certainly would not call it easy, I did feel it was easier to relate to a current student than to an AdCom. 2nd Year students are also in a unique position in that they can evaluate whether they are someone with whom they would want to work on a team... which I think is an extremely important thing for them gauge during the interview.

No interview here either. I think I have resigned myself to no chance at Ross. This sucks.

dghazer- did you apply to any other schools?

it's funny because i applied to 6 schools and ross was hands down my safety / last choice. i think my essays for ross turned out better than some of my other apps, but i've already done interviews with all the other schools i applied to: (chicago, ucla, wharton, lbs, and northwestern).

I applied to Cornell, Mich, Texas, and Virginia so far. I got excited with invites from Cornell and Texas and thought I would surely get an interview at Michigan since I heard that Mich seems to interview more than other schools. Perhaps I received wrong information or perhaps this is a good shift back into reality. Anyways, I thought this app was my best but it is what it is. I guess there is still a sliver of hope. I figure I will hear have decisions from those two in a few weeks and have a good idea about Darden by then...maybe I should just get moving on those rd 2 apps now.

Ross interviewed 39% of applicants per businessweek's profile last year so they interview less than most other schools

So if they interview about 40%, and accept a total of 20%, looks like your post interview chances are around 50/50. I'll take it. :wink:

That is weird! I mean, I could see Ross not extending you an offer if they think your profile is so competitive that they wouldn't have a chance of getting an accept from you, but no interview?

However, it does make me feel better!

Thanks refurb, but I highly doubt that they chose not to interview me because I would not accept an offer. I did at least think that I was in their ballpark.

The "complete" e-mail they sent me said this:

Quote:
This email is to notify you that your application to the Ross School of Business is complete, and is currently under review by our Admissions Committee. This has no bearing on whether you will be extended an invitation to interview. You may or may not have already been invited, and we will continue to invite applicants to interview through the first week of December. There is no further action required of you at this time.

So, the first week of December, that gives us two more days for one last push. Let's hope that have a few more to give out...

Ugh....

Anyways, I remember reading that Ross will review your app for each of the rounds. So if you don't get an accept in Round 1, your apps goes to Round 2. If no accept, then to Round 3.

Anyone actually know how that works? Do you just get waitlisted or what?

I just finished my interview with an alum.

It was a good experience, and the interviewer made me comfortable initially with a small intro by him. He explained what he is going to do and what is the expected..post that it was good conversation and overall I have an 'okayish' feeling about it. The Qs were:-

- Show me person behind the resume
- Family
- Why MBA?
- Why Ross?
- Why 2nd MBA?
- What will u contribute to Ross?
- One failure/setback story & learning?
- How do you handle team dynamics( eg; competition etc)
- Why a gap in study( between my under-grad and grad)

He countered my goals story by saying I dont need a MBA for it, I had to reframe my why MBA answer. I hope he was convinced! In the end, I asked him questions on his experience at Ross, fav classes, fav profs, MAP experience, life at Ross etc..

I was really struck by the passion he exhibited for his school. He is a 2005 passout, but seems to remember his times there with a lot of passion( no other word would fit here) and clarity..Meeting him makes me really want to go to Ross 8-) provided they want me :wink:

ATB to all of us...
