Another year, and another new set of essays. Where the Ross applicants at? I am applying this fall and can't wait to meet potential Rossies Meanwhile the essays (VERY cool stuff this year!) Please share your short-term and long-term career goals. What skills/strengths do you have that will be relevant to your career goals? How will Ross prepare you for your goals? (300 words Short Answer Questions GROUP 1 I want people to know that I: I turned an idea into action when I: I made a difference when I: GROUP 2 I showed my resilience when I: I was humbled when: I am out of my comfort zone when: GROUP 3 I was aware that I am different when: I find it challenging when people: A valuable thing I have taught someone: Let's get this party started!

Just now ordered a score report for Ross. Wouldn't want to take a chance for $ 28.

Did anyone else get a second email from Ross today saying "Application Received"?

Interesting, I received the "Application received" email when I submitted it around September 20th. Just assumed everyone got that shortly after finishing the application and paying the fee.

I submitted mine just a couple hours before deadline so I guess they must be going through the last batch of applications..

So, I got one on 10/1 when I submitted the application and then another one today.

Any ideas on the interview invites? When will they start?

Going by last year’s case, I’d expect them to come out in last week of October. Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum

From what I've read, the first round of interview invites are expected on October 24th. A great source for such information is the Admission Director's blog. They had published an article exactly mentioning when they were planning to send out invites last year. Hoping they'll continue with the trend. Posted from my mobile device

Week of 24 as per SK's blog in 2016. Going by the same, it should be week of 23rd October this time around. This is why I like Ross - they do a great job of maintaining transparency.
