I have received my package last week! Very nice!

Hi All, Any interviews invites for india yet for the second round? Thanks

Hi, I had my offcampus interview last week with an alumnus. Surprisingly he didn't start with a typical walk me through your resume question but asked a specific question about my extra curriculars. The questions that followed from there were Why MBA? Why now? Why Ross? I was also asked about my leadership style and questions about joining and leaving previous organisations. Most of the questions were fairly standard and the interview lasted about 45-50 mins, followed by some time for any questions that I had. I think it went well, though I there were a couple of questions I could have answered better. Guess the long wait begins now. Good luck to those who are yet to interview and those waiting for results. Has anyway figured out a feasible solution for the loan? Is the loan with co-signer option atleast available? I'm an international applicant and I guess funding seems to be a concern at this point in time.

Hey all, Had my Ross interview this past weekend. Outside of Why MBA and Why Ross, it was very conversational and not the 'structured question --> structured answer' format. I think this may have been a factor of my interviewer's style as opposed to a Ross standard though. My advice for anyone yet to interview is show your passion/affinity for Ross, dont be afraid to name specific initiatives at the school that attracted you to it, be casual but also professional. My experience with Ross students have shown them to be folks who are very accomplished but also down to earth, so as much as possible, convey that in your interview. All the best! Now to wait....

I assume you are referring to loans with a US co-signer? If so, yes, that option is still available. No worries about that at all. In fact, you have many loan programs to choose from if you have someone who is willing to co-sign the loan for you Check out the link below : https://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml International students w/o a US co-signer are adversely impacted by the removal of the no co-signer loan option. As another poster has mentioned in this forum, the Finaid office is actively looking for alternatives. However, based on my last check on the Ross Financial Aid page, there were no new updates on the school's financial aid webpage. Fingers crossed for good news to come through!

Anyone interviewing on Saturday at the Women's event? Let's connect.

I'm going. Beer after the follies?

Saturday night is follies night and most of the MBA's are going to a club right after follies.

Hi Guys, I am a R2 international applicant based in London and am yet to receive interview invite. Please can someone tell me if there is still hope for getting an interview invite? I am a bit confused about the 'waves of invite' process as specified by the Ross Admission Director.. Thanks a lot, Ash.

I think they are still going through applications. Ross sends invites in waves, according to the admissions directors blog. (soojin's blog) https://rossblogs.typepad.com/admissions/2012/01/notification-update.html Last Friday I received a notice saying they needed a copy of my degree diploma, which I scanned and sent immediately, but I received an acknowledgement only on Tuesday (yesterday). In the acknowledgement they mentioned " Your application is now complete, it will be forwarded to an admissions associate", which to me says, they did not read my application yet, since it was incomplete.
