Michigan Ross MBA Waitlist Discussion: (2019 Intake) Class of 2021

Hi all,
I'm a waitlist convert from R1 at UM Ross. Got my admit call yesterday with R2 decisions. Happy to help with any queries regarding getting off the waitlist. Sharing my 2 cents below:
1. Ross adcom asks for an updated GMAT score. If you think you can score 20-30 points above your last score, go for it. (I did not retake the GMAT as I was satisfied with my score).
2. If you have worked with any Ross alumni or current students in the past, I would suggest connecting with them for a recommendation email to the adcom. I did one with a current student and it was helpful.
3. Ross has many student ambassadors. Connect with some of them from your area of interest and seek personal guidance on the admissions process. Also, they are very friendly and can guide you with anything related to admissions, academic curriculum, placements, etc.
4. Besides the student ambassadors, keep in touch with the adcom. If you have interacted with any adcom member in the past, it would be great to connect with them regarding personal as well as professional updates in your profile. Let the adcom know that you are still interested to be a part of Ross community and what steps you have taken to improve your candidature.
Let me know if I can be of any help in any way. Cheers and all the best!
