Hello Ross aspirants,

If you missed attending GMAT Club's first virtual MBA fair, check out this video in which Ross alumn souvik101990 is in conversation with the managing director of Ross - Soojin Kwon.

Recorded on 17 June 2020.

Will Ross accept at-home GMAT Online score for Round 1 and Round 2 applications?

My at-center exam as been cancelled twice(the 2nd was scheduled in August!) and now I don't want to delay taking the exam.

Hi guys, do we have any details on Ross info-sessions handy?

Hi Guys,
There has been a lot of hype about Fall 2021 being the most competitive season for MBA applications because of the upcoming recession and deferrals from previous year. Any opinions on this?

In the words of the great Public Enemy song from 1988, "Don't believe the hype." ; )

I did a whole episode about COVID deferrals and the impact on applications this year -- it's episode 11 of B-Schooled (I'm the host for Stacy Blackman Consulting). I get insight from all of our team and then talked about our take for both people trying to figure out if they should attend this fall, as well as those applying in the 2020-21 currently underway. Hope it helps! You can find it on all major podcast apps.

Hi folks!
How are your Ross applications coming along for R1?

Posted from my mobile device

Pretty good! Although stuffing everything within 200 words for the second essay looks to be a challenge.

Apart from the short term goal and the 'why' aspect, do you think we need to add a couple of lines on 'why Ross' ?

Would love to hear the views and approach of other applicants too!

Thank you!

Great to know Sachin19.
