Ross (Michigan):PT MBA Class of 2017 Calling all applicants!

Hello all! I'm also applying to the Weekend MBA program starting in May 2015. I'm almost done with my application.

For the letter of recommendation, do they ask for an essay or a series of questions? I want to prep my manager to give him the best heads up.

Good luck to everyone!



Edit:
Nevermind. I figured it out in the main Ross thread. The two questions are likely:

1. How do the candidate's performance, potential or personal qualities compare to those of other
well-qualified individuals in similar roles? Please provide specific examples. (300 words)

2. Please describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the
applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant's response. (250 words)

Hello,

Has anyone completed their applications and gotten a call from Ross?

Just saw 2 people are already admitted...congratulations!

I am just about done with my essays, curious to know how the interview went for them...

Anyone else applying for may 2015 - give a shout out.

thanks

Hi All,

Congrats on applying and good luck to those who are still in the application process. I submitted my application yesterday and hope to hear from them!

Just heard back and I have scheduled an interview with Ross within the next two weeks!

Has anyone else interviewed with Ross yet?

Hello,

Congratulations to those who got an interview! I also received some good news today that I was accepted into the weekend MBA program - May 2015.

The interview was with the Managing Director of Part Time programs.

It was scheduled for 30 min and we stopped 2 minutes short.

She asked me the usual questions of Why Ross, Why MBA, Why now, What will you contribute to the ross class, conflict of interest, leading teams and single word that qualifies your positive and not positive attributes, and last 2 questions from me.

It was very conversational and she made the experience feel comfortable.

Good luck to all of you.

Lets connect if you choose to attend Ross.

Hello everyone,

I have also been accepted to the Ross Weekend MBA '17 class. Looking forward to connecting with and meeting everyone!

Don't sweat the interview process- it was very conversational. Think typical behavioral questions, why MBA, why now, why Ross, team work situations. You'll be fine!

Hello all! I am excited to say that I have also been admitted into the Ross Weekend MBA '17 class!

I was a little nervous for the interview but there was some great advice listed above by choo and mkballer. The interview went great and was very conversational.

I'm looking forward to meeting with a lot of you. I have lived in Ann Arbor the past 3 years as a professional so if anyone has any questions about the area, shoot me a PM!

Hello All

I am glad to inform that I have been accepted for the weekend MBA 2017 program as well. Like MK Baller mentioned, the interview was quite casual and similar sort of question pack was asked to me as well.

Looking forward to meet you all soon. If anyone wants to get together before any official gathering, shoot me a PM and I will co-ordinate with others on the meeting.

Hello Everyone,

Congratulations to those who recently accepted their admits. Now I guess the next logical step is to prepare to pay tuition..

I need to apply for an educational loan and was curious to know if you all have also started to look into it (if you plan to take a loan that is..)

I am looking at Sallie Mae, Sofi, Prodigy and others ...Still unclear whether I should even choose fixed or variable interest...

Your views and thoughts will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Nikhil: Sure, I am ok to meet before the March 13th event.

Does anyone know what the May 6-9 "Leadership Program" is? I tried researching online and can't seem to find a clear answer.

I want to know if I should plan to take off work if it is a big part of the program.

Hello all,

Congrats on your admits.

I submitted my application for the weekend program on feb 2. How long does it usually take to get interview invites?

Hoping for the best.

Thanks,
Shiv

Took me 3 weeks, assuming you already have your letter of req bundled with your application.

I figured out that the early May "Leadership Program" is orientation.

Thanks! My recommender is still working on the reco questions and will submit in a day or two.



Now the wait starts!

Does anyone know if Ross conducts skype interviews for PT MBA admissions?

Thanks!

Hello, has anyone visited any PT MBA class session? wondering if the coursework is more lecture based than case study based. Any insights?

Thanks

Received my admit call this morning
