Homework? What's that?
I have a question for current Ross students. In terms of M/B/B recruiting, what percentage of those who apply get interviews? Thanks!
Also, I'm going to be at the Ross Rendezvous on June 11. Anyone else going to be there?
From what I've seen during the recruiting process, anyone extremely dedicated to the recruiting and interview process will get what they aim for. This means practice interviews with student and career counselors, talking to MBA2s and alumni, learning about the companies you're recruiting for, etc. If you're laser focused, you should get what you want. If you come across as uncertain, if your statements about a specific company could easily be swapped for another, if your responses are superficial, you will have a tough time making it to final round interviews.
Anyone that's consulting-leaning should pick up Case in Point. The Consulting Club may offer it for a discount when the school year starts (they did last year), but if you want to get a head start, you could begin practicing. A consulting interview can be practiced for - just like a standardized test. They fit a specific structure to a great extent. The rest is thinking on your feet and you can't really change how you do that, but you can get better at it.
By the way, don't start freaking out. It's so easy to freak out and I'm sure you will see people freaking out when recruiting starts. But don't. An internship is important and sure, a full time job offer upon graduating is as well. But those two things are not going to determine the rest of your life. Keep this advice in your back pocket
. It sounds silly and obvious right now, but believe me, this will good to remember in the fall.
Enjoy the summer! Go on an MTrek! By the way, there may be a new MTrek popping up that's around Gulf Coast volunteerism. Stay tuned.
