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?

Thanks for the quick reply, must be an issue on my end. Good luck for your submission!

Good luck to you too. If you're trying again and need to check back, feel free to PM, I am up for a bit and working on Ross.

My application is done and dusted, other than uploads + a fresh read of my CV tomorrow morning. Anyone has views on the type of photos the adcom would appreciation? I have a 'candid' photo of mine in a suit, but the background is a little flashy. I am not really sure. Also, I am assuming the re-applicant essay will go in the Optional Statement (within essays) or Additional Information (independent section)? I don't see a dedicated re-applicant section.

Anyone submitted any documents in the 'Additional Information' section of the application? I find it strange that Ross has an Optional Essay and an Additional Info section. Are we supposed to put our curricular here?

I think most schools have both (or at least the ones I've applied to). Optional essay is why recommender (if not current boss), why low grades/quant/gmat/etc. Basically if you have a really good excuse or something odd needs to be explained it goes here. Meanwhile the additional information might be for new information if you're on the waitlist or certificates and such you couldn't put somewhere else in the application?

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes thats how I see it as well. I just wanted to know if people are doing anything with this part of the application since Ross disabled the 'Activities and Honors' section.

I'm not putting anything in the "Additional Information" section either. I do have some stuff for the "optional essay".

Hey folks, Is there a length/word limit for the re-applicant essay/letter? The instructions don't mention anything about the length of the re-applicant essay/letter.
