What I'm trying to say is - maybe we were too quick to judge the international candidate. Think about what contributed to it. Is it personality or just cultural difference?
In the countries I grew up in, I've heard of people criticizing Americans for being insincere: ex. saying "great! idea, but..." only to follow up with criticism, asking "how are you?" when they don't really care. This is obviously just a misunderstanding.
Yes, I'm all about optimism and constructive criticism. But keep in mind, those positive qualities might not be as effective or even backfire in some countries because cultures can be very different. This is based on my experience growing up in 3 different countries (Eastern, Western).
On the other hand, I'm not ruling out the possibility that Mr. school basher was just being a jerk.

Count me in for R2.
Have a question for people who have applied in R1 ... unlike other schools, Ross seem to have very limited fields in the application form - for example, there is no awards or honors section nor the extra curricular activities section. So did you guys put in a bit longer resume compared to the 1 page for other schools? Especially since in the instructions Ross mentioned 1-2 page resume. Or is it still a good idea to upload 1 page resume?
Thanks!

Read the link below. They're interested, but want you to address activities in your resume, essays, and interviews. I've read other things from her strongly recommending a one page resume.

Infact I had looked at the Zell-Lurie Institute website before and am very keen on its offerings- but from the admission perspective, wasn't sure if they would like it- I might stick with the "safer" post-graduate professions and then if I get admitted i can always opt for courses from the Institute.
