I hear you. I love Ross too, but I had a really bad interview experience.
I'm used to more conversational interviews. Not a 30 minute race to answer 15 minutes questions.
I can't feel a little jipped about the interview.
It felt more like a stress interview- not something I would expect from the Ross brand.
Honestly I didn't think my interviewer was even the slightest bit engaged in what I had to say..!!!
I'm glad i got invited to interview....but not hopeful and positive about the end result.
After finding out about the super saturday....which they invited almost 80 people do I can't help but feel slightly....ugh.....worse about the whole process. Really Ross....must you rub in that you don't think I'm cream of the crop?
It just doesn't feel right. God I hate this application process..!

There were lots of California and Seattle people at this event (I am guessing about 30%). I even met somebody who went to my undergrad (one of the UCs) and was surprised, as Michigan is very far from Cali. I think they were trying to show off the school to people who normally wouldn't have considered Ross as a top choice. In fact I even met a fellow from Switzerland who flew all the way for the interview. I was impressed. I wouldn't take the non-invite as a negative...
I also had the same feeling during my interview. It was somewhere between my Kellogg interview (conducted by adcom) that was very rigid and stonewalled; and my UCLA interview (conducted by second year) that was very "bubbly" and friendly.
To be honest I am still leaning a bit towards UCLA (the weather is a big factor for me
); but I would put Michigan up with Kellogg now. I feel Michigan is a stronger university as a whole; with top notch engineering, medical, graduate, and law schools. Whereas I feel Kellogg is a cut above the rest of Northwestern. Hmm...still need to get in a school. But Michigan did move up a notch after visiting...

I got a phone call from a U of M number today (apparently, they have one number that posts for all of their lines). No message, and by the time I got a chance to call back it was 5:00 in the East. Sigh. Anyone have any idea what this could mean? I hadn't gotten an invite to interview, and hadn't contacted them about anything. Ugh, I hate to have to wait until Monday.
