Ross (Michigan) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Any round 1 waitlist applicant who interviewed in round 2, and their status changed to dinged? I am a round 1 waitlist applicant, and interviewed in round 2. However, my status still says waitlist. I dont know if this is the current status or just the status from round 1 that has not been updated. There is no timestamp on the decision. Help!!!

For those inquiring about waitlist stats - this was posted in the Ross Waitlist thread:



Q: Being waitlisted can be a real drag for an applicant. Last year you put 472 people on the waitlist and admitted 131 of them. Do you have guidelines on how big your waitlist should be?

A. It’s more natural. It happens when we review an application and we’re just not sure that we have a place yet. It’s not a matter of we want to have only 100 people on the waitlist and that’s the only number we allow. We let it be as big or small as the evaluators see fit. But we try to minimize the stress of being on the waitlist. If an applicant is waitlisted in round one, we communicate with them again in round two to say if there is a positive decision, we will let you know with the round two folks, if not sooner. If you don’t hear from us that means you will remain on the waitlist, but know that we are still reviewing you. When we get to the summer, we try to release as many folks as we can. If we know that we only got ten spots in the class that we are flexing, we are not going to keep 300 people on the waitlist. So we try to winnow it down as much as we can as we go.

For the second evaluators, we highly encourage them not to waitlist people. So I ask them, ‘If you had to tip the scales one way or the other, which way would you go?’

Got in with some $!
Will be interviewing with Tauber next week.

Congratulations to everyone who got accepted.
For those who didn't please keep your chin up, something better is waiting for you around the corner!

WL.......

Congratulations to all admits!

I'm among the waitlisters. 2 waitlists and a reject so far, still waiting to hear from one more school. Fingers crossed.

What's the deposit deadline for the R2 admits?

If anyone is going to the Ross Women's Brunch tomorrow in Los Angeles, please PM me!

Best of luck. You waiting on Darden? I got double wait listed today too. Hoping for some good news from Darden next week.

I hope to meet some of you at the women's brunch in NYC tomorrow!

Congrats to all admits!

I also got WL'ed. Does anyone know if adcom's comment about submitting one update per round is still applicable?

Any admits in DC going to the event on the 20th?

can anyone kindly share his/her interview experience with Tauber institute?

It's a much more simplified version of your main Ross interview. The Tauber interview is mainly to see if you have an interest in the curriculum and what the program can give you ... Why Ross, why Tauber, what do you want to get out of the program, etc.

Waitlisted! Can someone tell me what All I can do to improve my chances of selection and What is the name of google group for waitlisted students.

Hey I too got waitlisted...so is it so that we will only get to know if we have made it through on May 15th when round 3 decisions are out? I am an international applicant and have got through another school whose offer I have to accept by march end. So was wondering!

WL at Ross and Duke on Friday
