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!

Also just interviewed with an alum and this matches my experience. Only question I wasn't expecting was "what other programs are you looking at?" Are we supposed to be honest and tell them about other schools? Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

I'm not sure - I sort of dodged it and said I'm looking at other programs that also focus on immersive action based learning and have strong social impact resources etc., so I didn't name any specific schools. Interviewer seemed fine with that answer and didn't push further.

Do we have a current Rosser here?

Souvik, Do you know if this guy gave his GMAT after R1 results or after that?

Would imagine if they received your previous communications via the portal they likely received your Thank-You and simply did not respond (which happens a lot of the time with thank-you's).

Relax! I asked my interviewer for his mail ID and sent him a thank you note within an hour. Its been a couple of days now but I have not heard from him. So, it's not necessary that the Alum will reply after getting your thank you note. He'll do what he has to do. Just hope that he submits a great feedback for you.
