sorry to hear that zohaib! Better than an outright rejection.

Tepper is a great program and to be honest I cannot see a huge difference between the two for salary and payback (believe me I've been looking).

haha its been better this year than last year (3 dings last year).

I am withdrawing my application to Cornell and now i have to decide . I'll need your input for the decision. There are more pro-Ross people than Tepper people on these boards and both admitted weekends are the same date.

I actually wrote to the admissions folks because I couldn't find it anywhere on the website. They told me the enrollment deposit deadline for round 1 admitted applicants is May 1, 2012. Since that was in an email, anyone who's seen something more official on a website is welcome to chime in. I assume that waitlisted applicants would potentially get longer.

WL...


It seems to me that there isn't necessarily a "ladder" to move up on the wait list but rather Ross will be looking to replace current/RD2 admit defectors with a similar candidate, thereby keeping the "ideal" student mix the same....best of luck to everyone out there

That's a tough one, especially with your listed concentrations of operations and statistics. I think Tauber and the operations side is good, but I'm seeing just okay offering on the stats/analytics side.

https://www.bus.umich.edu/CourseManageme ... 1&Dept=OMS
https://www.bus.umich.edu/CourseManageme ... 1&Dept=BIT

Tepper would be very strong in both operations and statistics, and probably have more academic resources for both. For me, I'm trying to round out my analytics background with more core business learning, so I'm less concerned about getting a top notch stat experience. Tepper is also a smaller program, which is both good and bad.

If you want better quantitative, I think Tepper; if you want well-rounded and a little bit better recruiting, I think the edge goes to Ross. Just my 2 cents.

kudos earned. Yeah I like that Ross has OMS. That is a plus. I definitely agree that Tepper has the quant edge and probably better recruiting at Ross. I want to know how much better it is, and I do like the small community at Tepper but that is a smaller alumni network. So how much better is the recruitting and alumni network at Ross and is it enough to overcome my interest in the quant part of Tepper....

I wish the welcome weekend and GBR weren't the same dates.

Gaurav and Zohaib, I'm from India too and I've been waitlisted. Not to put a dampener on anybody's hopes here, but this year's chances of moving off the waitlist in a positive direction for internationals may be significantly lower than those of last year. Do not forget that the non US co-signor loan program for us has been discontinued. For the same reason, there could be more domestic applicants getting cleared off the waitlist and quicker at that.

Any advice on
a) What can be submitted as an update? That too by the 17th of Feb (that's the deadline for submitting an update for me and possibly, for the rest of you that have been aitlisted). I mean I'm at a stage in my job where I don't really see any big achievement coming up in the next one month; there may be some tid bits of achievements that I can talk about but I'm not sure if they really matter in the universe of MBA admissions. And I work with a start-up; promotions either don't happen too fast or/and as in our case, the hierarchy is such that I can't expect any anytime soon. Can't change my GPA and don't need to change my GMAT. Any advice, folks?
b) When can we realistically expect to move off the waitlist?

Would appreciate an update from anyone on the above.

Buddy, I don't mean to sound like "it's easy for him to say kinda guy" but I would suggest, keep your hopes high. There is always a lot of movement in the wait-list especially at Ross, what with the international loan situation, I am sure many people might drop/change their plans. Try to look at your application as a package and think of potential weaknesses and then work upon them. There are a few things which you can do - look for ideas to start some sort of a club or a sports team (if you are a sportsman) at your workplace, maybe get involved in something on the social front, share the story if any product/team you were working on turned out to be successful in meeting the targets or has been applauded by the customers.

If you haven't already, go through raghu's blog@https://raghuformba.wordpress.com/category/mba/page/2/ He was wait-listed during Round1 and then later accepted during Round2.

One thing to note in the blog (it is also mentioned somehwere in Soojin's blog) is that you should not overwhelm the Admission committee with frequent updates. Approach it diligently, as you would the essays, collect the information and then send it across in one or two waves. All the best!

I have a question regarding the Waitlists. Did anyone who interviewed has also been placed on the WL. I though Ross only WL'ed candidates who have not been interviewed yet and they might be interviewed in subsequent rounds. Looking at the number of WL's it looks like there might be both types of candidates i.e. those who were interviewed and those who were not even interviewed. In fact I haven't seen anybody reporting a ding. Was everybody not accepted put on WL?

To those on the waitlist:

I will in all probability decline the offer from Ross.
I cannot garner the financial support without the non cosigner loan option.

Still will wait till the deposit is due, but I think we will have lots of waitlisted applicants being offered.
I just get a feeling that if I were a domestic candidate, I would not have to think of declining.
So much for equality in this world!!! I will love to change this.

weren't you able to find a solution in the international solutions list?
The bad luck thing is that in the next year there'll be a solution and this class internationals will lose
