These guys have a stupid process -log in, create user id and password and then check your denial status. wonder what they are up to.

Anyways congratulations to all those accepted.

Not really that different from most other programs I've seen except you create the login after submitting your application. Kellogg/Haas/GSB all ding you the same way (wish I didn't know that...) except that they're way more vague with dates. Whereas Michigan tells you pretty much what day what is happening. For me at least it has been the most transparent process by far.

So I’m confused. My Ross admission letter didn’t have a financial aid letter attached then I got an email that said we forgot to send you financial aid letter so we are sending it here but that email just said how to apply for loans does that just mean no aid? Anyone else have a similar email issue?

Haha ya I got the exact same email. I think they just copy and pasted the text into the email instead telling you about financing options as I didn't have an attachment either.

I'm in the same boat.

The 1st para of the follow up email says: "It has come to our attention that your Financial Aid information attachment was not included in your electronic admit pack sent earlier today. Therefore, we are sending this as a separate email. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused."

The bold text (bold styling added by me) makes me think the content of the email would have been the 3rd attachment. Which means we didnt get any scholarship but the 3rd attachment is only to give generic info on getting loans... I love Ross but cannot look past the $$'s UCLA has offered.. I guess it helps in making the decision
