Wow. Congrats longwait and the others.

This kind of ruins the whole suspense of getting a call over the next few days...obviously there's still a shot, but this really bums me out.

I really think there is a glitch in the system because when I logged in this afternoon, I didn't see that "view decision" thing.... I logged in about 4-5 hours later and found that link....

I think if all admits had access to this info, we'd be hearing from a lot more people. The roll call says there were 46 reported interview invites here, and I'd guess at least half of those will be accepted. Plus more people always come out of the woodwork to report admits. No reason to lose hope yet!

I was really upset this afternoon and wondering whether the three people who claimed to be accepted were real or not. I thought they were real otherwise it would be so awful for people to play our nerve like that.

I re-logged into my account and found that those three people were actually not playing with us... because I just got mine too :)

Awesome, mate!

However, given your PhD in computer graphics (magna cum laude, you genius! - I checked your profile), your early admit shouldn't come as a surprise!

(psst: longwait, can you arrange me one like this from the HBS?)

It's ok to be skeptical; that's how I felt this afternoon. I was really upset on my way back home and ended up buying some junk food during my diet. I didn't believe those three people were lying (it would be such an awful thing for people to do so when knowing that everyone is anxiously waiting during such an important time in their life).

I truly wish everyone all my very best. I know how difficult it is waiting for decision. I am actually a reapplicant so getting into school this year means a lot to me, and I know how much it means to other people too.

Is anyone else merely struggling to set-up their account appropriately? I created the "friend" account, verified my bday and entered the UM ID number provided in the original email. BUT, when I log-in and attempt to access the "New and Prospective Student Business" link, I get the following message:

"Please use your Uniqname and Kerberos password to log in to New and Prospective Student Business. If you do not know your Uniqname or Kerberos password call (734) 764-HELP [764-4357] and select the option to reset your UMICH Kerberos password; you'll be connected to person who will verify your identity.

Click OK to continue."

Am I supposed to have a Uniqname/Kerberos password? Bleh. And the guy at the help desk is on vacation all week. Anyone else get this same message?

Thank you! One of my friends just told me she read on news before that there was a school that actually sent out acceptance letter to wrong people... I hope this wasn't the case though...

Guys,
I'm getting the exactly same thing as Longwait.

Is not a Hoax.

I can see the "view decision" link and when I click it I get the following message:

"Congratulations on your outstanding professional, academic, and personal achievements! We are pleased to offer you admission to the Ross School of Business Full-time MBA Program Class of 2013. "

I am checking with the ad-com about this. I'm really sorry you guys had to go through all this (hoax or not) - it is definitely not fun. Except for you of course Yeltsina, you love this sh*t....

Regarding the career placement stats - the number for Duke is definitely 71% at graduation (https://www.fuquaworld.duke.edu/cmcfile ... s09-10.pdf). For Ross, the same number last year was 69.1% (https://www.bus.umich.edu/EmploymentProf ... e=MBAGrads"). I can anecdotally comment on the outlook for this year's class (full-time and interns).

Full time: Most of the students I know have job offers already. The only people (that I know of) still looking are those looking at very niche, difficult to break into industries - VC and PE. Offers for consulting are up SIGNIFICANTLY this year at the top firms (for some, more than 100% increase over last year). Banking offers are pretty much the same as last year, as are CPG, Healthcare, etc. Also, most international students that I know already have a job. I would imagine there are more, but I personally know of just one international still looking. And again he is looking at something very specific which does not have a strong history of hiring MBAs - clean energy.

Internships: Internship recruiting has been great so far. Consulting looks to be stronger than last year's internship recruiting. I haven't heard too much about banking, but from what little I gathered, it looks like internationals have fared particularly well in banking this year. One outlier is tech - there are significantly more hi-tech offers this year than last year, and one firm actually increased the size of their interview schedule substantially after candidates applied, and ended up interviewing on campus twice. I'm not so sure about the other sectors. If I hear anything I'll keep you guys posted.

To summarize, from what I can see, it appears that recruiting at Ross is definitely on an upward trend. I am fairly certain that the official stats for 2011 will be better than those for the class of 2010, but how much better? That, I'm not so sure of.

Hope that helps.

Congratulations!! Your post actually made me feel so much better now because I was a bit worried that the letter I saw was another glitch (like acceptance letter to wrong people).

Congratulations once again! :-D
