Calling all Ross 2010 applicants!

I dont think you are "required" to do anything.. but from an ethical standpoint, probably not that cool.

Actually I don't think you're required except for ED programs. Intent to attend and deposit is okay. You just lose the deposit.

Hi,
I called up the admissions at Ross and reached the reception. The lady mentioned that the last date of sending invite is one week before the final decision date. However, Soojin's blog mention two different dates; mid and end of February. There are so many versions, I think the only way is to rely on your inbox and spam folder.
Good luck to those who are waiting.

Called the admissions office...invites going out till Feb-19. Good Luck, all!

Just wanted to give you an update. Had my interview on the 13th with an alumni in the area at a local coffee shop. Like many other students we ran through the standard questions of why an MBA, why Ross, and walk me through your resume with some additional leadership style questions here and there. Overall, it was definitely NOT my best interview. We never really seemed to gel and I came away with a pretty bad impression of my performance. Oh well, you live you learn. Now all I can do is hope for the best!

I've heard good things about Scorekeeper (sports bar) and Dominic's (restaurant). Dominic's may not be open during the winter, though, since it's outdoors.

I stayed at Lamp Post Inn. The staff were very nice and everything, and the room was neat and clean. However, there is anecdotal reason why I wouldn't stay there again. After I had already gone to bed, a couple checked into the room next to mine. And before long, I started hearing "noises" coming from next door. I don't know if this is kosher for the forums, but let's just say that the woman was very "expressive." I turned on the fan, cranked up the white noise app on my iPhone, cursed the paper-thin walls, and regretted so, so much that I did not bring earplugs. Wasn't until after midnight that they had finished their "activities." Granted it was Valentine's Day and all, but argh!!!

Anyway, best of luck with your interview!

I just received an invitation to interview! I submitted 1/4 via the Consortium. I had actually already convinced myself that I wasn't getting in so for those still waiting for an interview, there's still hope! The annoying thing is that they are only giving me until the 2/25 to schedule it.

Unfortunately, the only options were on-campus or phone interview. Since my *sparkling personality* doesn't really shine through over the phone, I opted for on-campus even though the timing isn't great. Will be interviewing this Friday 2/19. Anyone else going to be there that day?

Not sure if this helps answer your question but my alumni interview said "The interview can only help your candidacy, it can't hurt it with Ross." Read into that what you will but I took it as "We've got a good idea where you stand, let's see if you can't bump it up if you're borderline."

the 23% includes waitlist. His analysis is pretty good, although he should mention that 36% acceptance with another 18% Waitlist.

Also it varies alot per round I believe, since Ross recieved 60% of it's apps in R2 (From Soojin's blog) its hard to tell what really happens per round.

stayed at the bell tower, which was not too expensive ($200ish) and left my car with them all day. It was about a 10 min walk across central campus to Ross.

There is actually a parking structure like 3 blocks from the Ross building. it's not campus owned. it's part of the city. Let me know if you need more details than that.

this one is the closest that I found when I was there.

not a bad walk Forest and Wilard..

3 days before the weekend
so starting wednesday they will do calls
but decisions don't go out until the 15th for everyone.

In Ann Arbor now and just got back from Zingerman's. Great suggestion, my sandwich was a little piece of heaven, even though it was 14.50. Also checked out Blimpie Burger, but wasnt that impressed. Overall, Ann Arbor is a pretty cool town, particularly Main Street.

I called yesterday and was told that they will continue to interview up to a few days before releasing desicions... so that gives us hope right? hehehe

Madison, WI...but I may be a bit biased
