Doubt it. I applied R2 too, but didn't receive this. There's probably an 'introduce yourself'/'subscribe' type of link somewhere on their site. Oh well. Thanks to the good people posting this on forums.

Could be for prospective students that signed up to visit the campus? Or attend an info session? I did both but I agree. I don't think it's targeted at R2 applicants specifically because it prominently displays the R3 submission deadline on the bottom of the e-mail (rather than R2 notification deadline or something).

I noticed an inconsistency between Soojin's blog and the newsletter. In Soojin's blog, she said that interviews will be extended till "mid-February," whereas in the newsletter, it said "end of February." Since the newsletter came out after Soojin's blog, should we assume that it's been extended from mid-February to end of February?

I don't know but it seems to have been pretty quiet the past two days in terms of invites.

For admitted students who plan to matriculate, or those who plan to matriculate if admitted, I have a big question: Why Ross? No, seriously, I don't want the answer you gave in your essay or interview. Truly and honestly, why are you planning on attending Ross over other schools? I'd love to hear opinions. PM me if you don't want to put the answer here. Thanks!

Have you visited the campus? I think ross is one of those programs that has more intanglebles. The recruiting is pretty strong for consulting and midwest as a Elite (non-M7) school.

The tailgates!

But seriously, it was a combination of the culture and the academics. One thing I learned through my research that it is fairly easy to get caught up in the herd mentality. Certain schools have a mindset that permeates throughout the student body (i.e. NYU=Wall St). Where I think fit plays in is to identify your values/interests with that mindset. I think my mentality fits with Ross.

I loved the Ross program because of its focus on more responsible management. A small example is that Ross has one of the most advanced recycling programs and that the building is LEED certified. Thats cool to me that the students cared to do that. My goal is to go into Energy, and there are some programs that might be better for pure energy (namely, McCombs). However, Ross has several courses on Sustainable Energy, which is an educational perspective I will value. This ties to the more responsible management.

Another reason I loved Ross was the more down-to-earth culture. No one I've ever met from Ross was too impressed with themselves. That is important to me because I couldn't imagine spending two years with individuals who need to prove their awesomeness (even if it is legit) at every moment.

I'm not trying to say other programs don't have this, as they very well might. But the combination of all those factors make it ideal for me. I think visiting this school makes a big difference in this sense. When I was there, i just knew this would be a great place for me. These are just things you won't know about unless you interact with a lot of students.

I did visit, and the reason I'm asking is that I didn't... love it. The class I observed was relatively dull and the students seemed uninvolved, everyone was "nice" but no one was particularly forthcoming, and I just really didn't feel like they wanted me there the way I've felt at other schools. Maybe it was a bad day, who knows?

Did you get a chance to interact with the Ross/Michigan students/faculty outside the classroom at all? In my experience, this is where you can really see the difference.
