I'm going to be in Chicago (from Europe) for Kellogg. So i'm thinking of making the trek down to Ross. The saturday for the event fits in perfectly with my schedule. But I'm also apprenhensive as I'm not a woman. Any guys thinking of attending?

I'm a guy and I'm going to the Saturday event. I'm actually really looking forward to getting a female perspective on the business school experience.

I am in the same boat. I am debating about going on Feb 4th since it is a women focused event. Also you can do pretty much everything on any other day including visiting a class and talking to current students.

Hey,

Can someone confirm if for the off campus interviews the interviewer has only the resume. If my understanding is correct it's only the CV we upload that he has access to..otherwise its a blind interview.

It will be just the CV and most likely an MBA2

I did off campus interview in R1 with an alum and she has access to resume only. It'll most likely be an alum (or probably an adcom in rare cases) for off-campus interview. And as long as the interviewers are alums (off campus) or MBA2s (on campus), I think they can only see your resume.

There was an interview with Soojin (can't find the link) where she said around 70% of those interviewed are admitted. That makes sense, given that they interview a little over half the candidates and then lose some of their "accepts" who don't matriculate.

Now, that 70% will include people who are interviewed, waitlisted, then later accepted. As you can tell from this thread, Michigan doesn't seem afraid to keep a number of candidates on the waitlist and then accept them in large numbers.

Hey all, I'm a R2 applicant, interviewing at the super saturday event. The way I figure it, it's so easy to just interview on a saturday and not miss work that a lot of guys will be there. And hey, if there's a preponderance of women, I'm not gonna complain :-D

I am interviewing the day before Super Saturday. I haven't visited Ross yet, and I want to get a better sense of what the building and community is like on an 'average' day. Also, the focus on women's business during Super Saturday was a turnoff for me.

Bell Tower Hotel. On campus and no more than a 10 minute walk from the bschool.

EDIT: And congrats to everyone who got invites today! (I'm still holding out hope for the next couple of batches.)

There are several more hotels further south near briarwood. The taxi's are really cheap here and pretty convenient.

Hey, I am in London and got the call 2 days back. I am yet to register for the interview but hoping that i can have a face to face one with a n alum in the area. Im sure Ross would have alums working in London out of all the international locations :)

PS: I am an international applicant originally from India.

The two primary options will be for an on campus interview or an interview with an alumni in your area. They will allow phone interviews if you have some special circumstance, i.e. no alumni in your area. However, since you are in London that shouldn't be an issue.
