Did anyone get an email from the UM Financial Aid office this morning?? Wondering if this is a "good" sign??

Yes, me too.
No idea whether this is a mass sending or specific to a small group...
Does it work if ask admission office what it is about?


I haven't tried calling to ask...they may be very vague about it.

I got it too. That everyone seems to have gotten one makes me think it's an annual requirement for the university to send to applicants. It is the beginning of the year...unfortunately.

Have you tried calling the Ad-com? The deadline, as the others have posted earlier, is 11:59 PM EST. So there's still (some) time.

This is a general e-mail sent out to applicants. It has no bearing on your final decision. I received it when I was in your shoes 2+ years ago, and so did a friend of mine who did not get accepted.

nevermind, I just got the financial aid email. So per the Ross 2010 thread, admit calls started on Wednesday, 2 days before the deadline. Somehow, reading that calmed my nerves a little - at least I can wait till next Tuesday/Wednesday to start feeling anxious again

My Ross 'goals essay' is 577 words long. I am still trying really hard to shave off those "extra" 77 words....

Will 550 words be acceptable?

Thanks
