Ditto here for trying to follow up asking for scholarship money and getting declined. Glad to be admitted, but would've been nice to have some help.

Can you give some details on how you went about asking? Did you have other offers? Who did you talk to? Email vs phone? What’d you say? I think it’s be really helpful to others who are still considering Ross plus other schools. Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

I did not try to 'negotiate' or use any other offers as bargaining chips (because I had none), so I asked in the most humble way possible via an email to the admissions director. I expressed my desire to attend the school, and then stated I wasn't sponsored and don't have a high-paying job since I work for the government. "Is there anything you can do to make my decision to attend easier financially?" - That's what I asked. Good Luck

Very helpful thank you! Are you planning on attending? Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Submitted yesterday--Good luck all! Does anyone know when we can expect to hear updates? I heard there were two waves. Thanks!
