On 25th minute, I was walking out of the venue. Couldn't speak about any key stories from my profile (as these were very to the point questions) so really worried. Any ideas from past experiences on whether such short interviews indicates a possible mis-fit, ding, etc.?

Thanks

All the best!

I didn't get an interview invite from Ross, but an interview with another school was even shorter - Skype showed the entire conversation as 16 minutes and 54 seconds, which totally freaked me out. But I got accepted there :)

The duration doesn't always matter - once they have what they were looking for, most interviewers decide to end it. So I wouldn't overthink this if I were you :)

Good luck!

Hi All,

I am a R2 applicant from India and had my alum interview yesterday. It just lasted for 20-25 min (heard that alum interviews generally last for at least an hour).

The interviewer was nice. He asked me very few questions:

1) About Career moves
2) Team conflict situation
3) Why MBA? Why now?
4) Why Ross?
5) Any questions for me :roll: . (so early) I asked about his experiences and a few follow-up questions.
6) Where else you have applied?
7) Why US as so much happening in India?

On 25th minute, I was walking out of the venue. Couldn't speak about any key stories from my profile (as these were very to the point questions) so really worried. Any ideas from past experiences on whether such short interviews indicates a possible mis-fit, ding, etc.?

Thanks

All the best!

well, this is a classic case of when yr interviewer was not too interested in the interview and was in a hurry to just finish the process quickly...its a tough place to be in and I have experienced it...I got a rejection in the end, but i would tell you that this can go either way....so far the success rate for such interviews is 50%...there have been positive and negative outcomes...so again, hang in there and just hope for the best..!!

As long as you feel like the interview went well otherwise, I wouldn't worry about the length. Both of my alum interviews were on the shorter side as well. You never know what's going on with the alums, as they have busy schedules and may have other obligations to get to. One of my alum interviewers told me in advance she was going to keep track of time because she wanted to respect my time, so that may be a factor as well. Good luck!

Question for other admitted students. What is the Credential Verification (not the Employment Verification)? It was in the letter but I havent found any other information pertaining to it. Do we have to do a sign up like we did for HireRight?

hi,
Can someone please send me the contact email for one of admission committee member?
Recently, my team won a big proposal, and I wanted to update my managerial activities to admission committee. I am afraid, if I send it to general admission email, then it will be just added to my file. But, if I send it to an committee member, he will atlead read it.

Btw, I have applied for R2, and have NOT received an invite :(

If you feel you absolutely need to send additional material, I would highly recommend that you use the general admission email address. Emailing their individual accounts will serve to only antagonize them because:
a) They are not expecting additional materials from R-2 applicants now
b) If they wanted to be contacted on their personal accounts, they would have shared the email addresses with the applicants

Additionally, I think most applicants here have received fairly prompt responses when they emailed the general address. Trust me, if the admissions committee thinks it is permitted and relevant, they will read it before adding it to your file.

P.S: I hate to say it, but at this point in the admissions process, I highly doubt the admissions team will consider it - simply because it simply isn't fair to the other applicants. (personal view)

you might wanna read this blog from the admission director before u send the update.

https://rossblogs.typepad.com/admissions/2010/11/updates-and-supplemental-materials.html

it clearly explains the ross policy on sending updates and supplemental material to them after the application.

I completed my interview on Wed 2/16. I flew in the day before and met with the presidents of 2 of the student clubs for about 30 minutes each in the Winter Garden area. Before my trip, I had reached out to them to find out about their clubs and their general experiences. I was around for the reception held for the new dean and introduced myself. One of the associate deans heard me say I was a prospective so he pulled me aside to find out more about me. I also participated in the VIP visit (info session, tour, class, lunch). My favorite thing was hearing about the students MAP experiences. Everyone I met was extremely helpful and friendly. I interviewed with a second year student, which lasted about 45 minutes. The questions were pretty standard and I felt prepared by using the posts on the clear admit forums.

This trip was probably the best school trip out of all the trips I have made. I was excited about Ross before, but this really pushed Ross to the top of my list if I am fortunate enough to be accepted. I can't imagine a more welcoming experience. Good luck to all the Round 2 applicants.

I am applying for round 3. I am finishing up my application package but I was wondering what to do with supplemental transcripts. I took two courses at two different universities but did not receive a degree from either. I would like to include these transcripts because they both show A's and I think it's important for me to show that my low undergraduate GPA is not reflective of my full academic capabilities.

The problem is that there does not seem to be section on the application to upload these. When I try to enter in additional universities attended, it asks for graduation dates. Since I did not graduate from these two schools I tried leaving the fields blank, but then it just generates an error message. I contacted admissions via email and they told me that uploading these transcripts was unecessary. However, this doesn't seem very logical to me, otherwise I could mention something about me taking 10 additional classes and receiving A's in all of them. Don't they want proof? Did anyone encounter this problem and if so how did you proceed?

Yeah...I hear you. I had a few classes that I took after undergrad as well that I wanted to share, so I put it on my resume.

I didn't upload a transcript because they ask specifically only for transcripts for which you earned a degree, which to me basically says..."Yeah, we know many of you have supplemental transcripts, but they aren't a big factor so please don't provide them."

Email the Admission's Office about this. I did, and they asked me to add the transcripts in, but include a disclaimer in the optional essay. Otherwise, just write about it in your optional essay.

I just received an email from Ross about missing documents from my application. They require me to send unofficial documents including my transcripts and degree to them within 7 days. I can send them hard copies or i could scan this and send it to them. I had already scanned my transcripts with my application which clearly mentions my degree, mark sheets, degree conferral date etc. By scanning my transcripts and degree certificate I am just sending them the same material I submitted with my application, am I missing something?

I just got an email asking for missing Unofficial scanned or hard copy of my undergraduate degree (International). I had only submitted my transcripts online, so I guess they need it. The email did say that if I did not provide in next 2 business days, I will fall into Round 3 (scary). I already responded to the email with a scan copy and also send in Express Mail so they would get it by the deadline of 2 business days.

Got anxious looking at such a late request for missing document (when I got an email from Ross about application complete long time ago). We will see....

I am also in the same boat. A Tauber staff contacted me in Jan and said she would arrange for an i/v with Diana Crossley some time in Feb after they've done interviewing the local candidates. But I haven't heard from her since then.

Probably I will wait till early Mar... shall keep you posted if I receive any i/v schedule.
