'Dress code is Business Casual. venue is a coffee shop at a star-hotel.'

Usually I've seen people turn up in Business formals even when told Business Casuals so this is confusing :(
What do you guys suggest?

I'd always go for business formals even at a coffee shop. Guys can do away with the tie though.

I had my interview via Skype yesterday with 2nd year student, I am in Ghana Africa. It went very smoothly, mostly behavioral and situation type questions. I was asked about 10-15 questions, the whole thing took about 45 mins. I will not be participating in the team based exercise.

same here :( I really really wanted to be a part of Ross.
As a WL Applicant, do we need to do something to emphasize the application?

How did you know whether you are wait-listed or denied ? Did they send out a mail saying that ?

Congratulations, and all the best. Would you mind sharing some of the questions from the interview?

I had my Skype interview scheduled for the middle of last week, but there was a mix-up somewhere. I was offered the option of a face-to-face interview with an alum (off campus) and I picked that option instead.

No, since i did not receive any email from Ross, I assumed myself to be WL. I'm Sorry about that.

Guys, i wouldn't worry so much about it just yet. It's only last week that Ross contacted me regarding some changes in my application, and they told me they were just starting to review it. There is still time and hope. Be patient

I think I read either in last year thread or somewhere else in this thread or some other thread...but is it true that Ross does not review essays/etc in first read of app before extending interview? And they only read that later? I heard they said Ross is more metric based for interview invites. Any truth to that?

I hope that's not true. My entire "appeal" as a candidate is based on my story. I did have a 4.0 GPA and a 690 GMAT but the personal adversity piece is where my bread and butter lay.

I didn't receive an interview (so dinged or wait-listed), just throwing that out there.

Tchankwes I think the reason people are asking questions in response to your statement about being patient is because the Ross Admissions Blog shared that on the 22nd they released the final wave of interview invites for Round 2. So people are wondering if you've received an interview invitation, because if not they are probably hoping there are multiple files still being reviewed (and thus maybe still can receive one-off interview invites).
