Is anyone having issues to schedule an off-campus interview? I initiated an interview request for this Saturday two days ago and I haven't heard back. Should I go ahead and try to schedule another interview w/ another alum? Should I try to write this alum another note in the scheduling system?

My actual interview conducted by a second year was completely laid back. I was a little shocked that he didn't take one single note the whole time we met. There was not a pen or pad to be found in the room! We were truly just having a conversation. It makes me wonder how Ross intends to use the interview in the selection process.

My thoughts exactly! From what I heard from a few people, most interviewers didn't seem to note things down all that diligently. I have been wondering what they are looking for during the interview and what kind of feedback is given.

I just finished my interview with an alum, in Boston; it was relaxed and at a coffee shop. The questions were no different from those on ClearAdmit wiki, except for one where he asked me how I would differentiate the culture of Ross from that at other schools I'm considering.

He seemed very involved and heads back to Ross every year and is active as a recruiter. Once again I've come away highly impressed after an interaction with someone associated with Ross.

Now this is weird, because my interviewer was taking down a lot of notes. I had my interview on interview-saturday last week, and I too went in expecting it to be very conversational. But apparently, it wasn't. The questions were the usual, but the fact that my interviewer was looking down at the paper so much to jot notes down while I was answering was distracting at times. I had to do a lot of the talking, with very little coming from the other side, until I was asked to ask questions towards the end. Well, I guess these things vary from person to person too, but I was wondering if the on-campus interviews conducted by 2nd yr students are generally like this..??

It sounds like the interviews conducted on-campus are more laid back. I wonder if this means it's better to make the extra effort to go on campus and do the interview there.

My on campus-interviewer (MBA2) was a note taker... by the time we were done my resume was full of lines and scribbles. Overall he was really nice and went out of his way to make me feel comfortable. The questions were pretty standard and fell in line with what I found on GC/ClearAdmit. I completely understand the anxiety and uncertainty surrounding the interview process. Hang in there! They already like you and potentially see a place for you in the class. This goes without saying, but avoid any kind of negativity, be confident, and stick to your story. They will formulate a first impression of you within the first minute or so and spend the rest of the time validating that impression, so keep smiling and maintain a healthy energy level.

I used them when I visited and they were great, couldn't have been more convenient, on-time both ways and had a very friendly driver. It was more pricey than renting a car or taking the michigan flyer ( I think it was $62 round trip plus gratuity) but I didn't feel comfortable driving in snow and didn't realize the hotel the flyer drops you off at was just down the street from where I was staying. Overall it was worth it to not have to stress about finding my hotel or missing my flight going back, next time I would probably rent a car though if the weather is decent.

Don't get lulled into thinking that. The Ross blog last Fall mentioned something about applicants not taking the interviews with current students seriously enough. I'm not saying that to make you nervous, just to make you understand the importance of treating it professionally.

Personally, I'd like to be interviewed on campus. You have a set time limit (30 minutes), will get AdCom approved questions, get to talk with someone actually in the current program, and get to show your interest in the program. That said, I actually enjoyed all of my interviews. I was well prepared and made sure to remember that about half of the interviewees will be admitted vice one of X for a typical job.

Looks like Michigan Flyer runs on a particular schedule and both pickup and dropoff are at Four Points hotel only. Few extra bucks for the comfort of being picked up whenever and wherever you want with these shuttle guys. Just scheduled my shuttle.

I believe the Ann Arbor Airport Shuttle ($62 roundtrip with credit card, $60 roundtrip with cash) will drop off/pickup at your desired location as well unlike the other shuttle mentioned earlier, which drops you off at the Four Points hotel.

For off-campus interviews, the alum will receive an electronic copy of your resume in advance, but bring it anyway. They might forget to bring it, or you might want to refer to it. I brought mine in a padfolio so I also had a pen and paper ready, just in case. I didn't need any of it, but I feel better when I'm prepared with that stuff.
