Hi! When can one expect an invitation to the interview for the Tauber institute? If I’m not invited, does it mean I did not succeed in my first interview? (I have already had an interview with an MBA2). Thank you.

Posted from my mobile device
In the e-mail admissions sent out on the 14th with instructions to setup the standard Ross interview, the third paragraph included a link and instructions to sign up for a Tauber interview if you had applied.

Omg! I missed that paragraph. Is it too late?

Upd: the link is still active, I scheduled the interview. Thanks a lot!

Does anyone know what to expect during this kind of interview?

Depending on the availability of seats at Tauber, students can even enroll after starting school in fall. I've talked one of the current student who joined Tauber after going to Ann Arbor. So, I'd say its not too late, but you might want to contact the admissions office or the person incharge for admissions at Tauber. Good luck!

Apologies if this has already been asked. On the application there is a part where it says “Please also share any referrals to The Ross program made by staff or alumni”

Then there is nothing about this throughout the app. If I have an old mentor and former manager that is a Ross alumni. How can he give me a referral?

Maybe you can share the information as part of the optional essay?

My guess is optional essay too. May be the recommender can mail their letter to Adcom mentioning the name and email address of the applicant. The Ross Adcom is very proactive and they will add that to the applicant's file.

Just got an email from Ross: Announcing Standardized Test Policy Changes for 2020-2021 Admissions Cycle

Learning of the many hardships that candidates are facing because of the pandemic, we have decided to modify our standardized test policy. We will be offering candidates of the Full-Time MBA 2020-2021 application cycle the ability to request a waiver of our standardized test requirement (GMAT, GRE) and English proficiency tests (TOEFL, IELTS, and PTE).
We will look for candidates to demonstrate their academic proficiency and quantitative ability through other data points (e.g., undergraduate or graduate coursework, full-time work experience, professional certifications, etc.). See our Waiver Request page for a detailed listing of qualifying experiences.

https://michiganross.umich.edu/graduate ... er-request


Is anyone thinking of applying for the waiver?
What I have seen the last few years is that some demographics need very high scores (e.g. Indian guys) but then others could get in with lower scores with less competition at those score levels though still required a 700+. I guess if you have less than 700, apply for the fee waiver.

P.S. Even if you sent in your score already but have not applied yet, you should be able to get a score waiver.

P.P.S. This also seems to tell me Ross does NOT have enough qualified applicants for R2 based on their R1 experience so it is a good opportunity in R2.

I think this is a discount t for EMBA that you undug 😂

The referral would be a field in the application. It is usually just an FYI for adcom. But let me ask one of the current students if they perhaps know.

In my application back in the day there was a field to mention any current students or alum or admission officers I spoke with.

As current students and alums we do get emails where we have the option to refer applicants. I think you should add them to those fields in your app if someone did put in a good word for you.

On another note, namedropping current students or alums in your essays in a way that does not seem tacked on and is relevant to your goals is almost always a good idea.

Yeah there’s 1 box on there where you can list all the students, alums, events, etc.

I know a couple of alums that I’ve worked on projects with and such that always talk about Ross in the office. Is it worth having them write a letter of support to admissions?

I think it would be helpful if they felt compelled to recommend you to the program and send an email on your behalf. I know a few folks did it... though not sure if that was a contributing factor to their admission but if done right, it looks nice, though often it would be done by current students and other people who are a bit closer to the adcom and perhaps in touch as opposed to someone who graduated 10 years ago and was never heard of. They may be an alum but they are out there.

Given the test waiver news. Should someone from the Indian male demographic from Big 4 consulting take it? If no, what should be the GMAT score?
