When did R1 admits get theirs?
Well, I met a R-1 (International) admit to Ross a couple of days ago and he said he received his binder 4 days after the admit! I did receive an e-mail a couple of days ago (I'm sure you guys did too) stating that they were having some difficulties with the binders and that they would be sending them out soon. We *should* be getting 'em this week.
In others news, I met three other Ross admits from Bangalore on Saturday evening and I must say I would be more than happy to go to school with people as accomplished, yet down-to-earth as them. One was still waiting on a decision from Kellogg (waitlisted there), but I tried to swing him the Ross way
Another was admitted to Ross, Duke and Darden, and said he was matriculating at Ross for sure. He is discussing housing options with me. So I think it is safe to say that he was pretty serious
Oh wait, here is a tidbit that's pretty cool. Apparently there were 11 admits to Duke from just Bangalore in R-1! To the 2009-ers reading this: I think this is a clear indication that a lot of schools tend to fill up their spots (especially for applicants from competitive demographics) early on. So applying R-1 does have its advantages.
And yeah, lastly, I must say that the Ross community has been
phenomenal in reaching out to its admits. A MAP team coming down to Bangalore for its project reached out to us and has invited us to dinner on the 1st of April. They have even gone the distance and invited a couple of alumns to talk to us about their experience post Ross. I can't wait to pick their brains, especially one guy who is working in the same area that I hope to work post-MBA! I will keep you guys posted on the happenings.
