Calling all Ross 2011 applicants!

I'm totally with you...felt like I was a blabbering idiot at my interview. Knew coming out of it that it was going to be a large uphill battle...put too much pressure on myself to be myself...if that makes sense.

wow..sounds like the interview did a lot of people in...
Same here actually...I think I didn't represent myself as well as I usually do

That said, I'm sure they can do lots of calls and e-mails (especially batch ones) in an hour!

If it makes you feel any better I don't think my interview went so great either, I definitely rambled a lot and never even got a smile out of her. I didn't send a follow up thank you email because I couldn't remember her name and didn't get her card. I was so focused on how I did that I didn't think to write it down. Later on at the reception current students were asking me who I interviewed with and I felt like a complete idiot not knowing and having to describe what she looked like, thought for sure they were going to mention it to her

This whole MBA ordeal is a challenging, frustrating, and humbling experience. Of everywhere, I thought I had a decent shot at Ross given numerous factors and a clear commitment/connection to the university. But as I sit here completely helpless at the decision that awaits I can't stop to think why not me? Is it b/c my GMAT didn't break 700? b/c I'm a white male? Is it my career goals? Is it something I said in my interview? Who knows - I could have done something so egregious that I don't even know about that will be sitting right there in my app when I reapply next year even after I retake the GMAT, take on even more leadership roles, take on more team roles, etc. that equates to an instant ding. It's certainly a painful process.

jb88,

I agree. I dont want to give my sob story. I had put in unimaginable effort and hardwork just to be there at campus to give my interview to show them that Ross is my top choice school. I am sure every applicant works hard. I was really in an unique situation and still took time to go there. Anyway time to reflect and move on.

Salt Lake City area

I thought I did pretty well in my interview. Now the interview I just had at Anderson, now that was bad. Granted, I was mad distracted by Ross. I thought I had a good vibe from my Ross interviewer. Now if I got an interview even if I didn't have a chance, that would suck.

Were you at Super Saturday?

yep, on the 5th

I think you can not count the vibe you get from the interviewer. I thought that I impressed the interviewer and I was 100% sure that I am in

Now it is Wharton or NOTHING!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully! Although a Mexican guy already reported a call
Anyone with a 2nd glitch that didn't have a call yet??
One hour left

For me, I think this was the best application, including interview. I really connected to my interviewer. I think being an Indian techie and that too in 30s did me in. Have decent GMAT (mid 700s and AWA 6.0) and GPA etc. I think the game is over for us who are still waiting for that magic call or email.

Your interviewer is just a 2nd yr student. Adcom isn't gonna let them make or break you. Well, maybe break you.

I find it hard to believe that no Canadian has been admitted (at least on this thread) in R2.

Any Canucks with admits out there? Please chime in...

I just got in :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO via email.

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww. Plus 20G$ scholar ship per year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally agree. One of the most nonsensical questions you can get asked by friends/family/co-workers is "how did your interview go?"
WHO KNOWS?!!!
My interviewer at Ross was totally poker faced. I even tried to whip out my most impressive stories and achievements...the guy never cracked a smile, frown, lifted eyebrows, nothing! At the conclusion of my interview I had NO IDEA how it went. As of about 2 hours ago I assumed it went horribly but apparently it was acceptable after all.

Awesome! Congrats!!!
