You have to love the transparency of their admissions process. US Applicants to receive calls next week on Tuesday and Wednesday (12th and 13th). International Applicants on Thursday (14th). Good luck all!

Fingers crossed for everyone! God speed!!

Soojin seems like the greatest person ever. If only all schools followed Ross's lead!

I agree with both statements. Not to knock any schools, but it seems that many of Ross' peer schools enjoy playing the cards very close to their chests. Now I certainly can understand this to an extent given the often fervent nature of this application process. At the same time I wonder how much of the secrecy is out of necessity and how much is a passive effort to sort of build this air of mystery and prestige. I'm sure thoughts like this won't help my case though lol. Anyways good luck to all the applicants! I just got my interview invite (I'm R3) and I hope to see guys around Ann Arbor!

I hv officially stopped breathing. but i hv hope...

If you've stopped breathing you wouldn't be able to post on GC Calm down guys...enjoy the weekend. Hyperventilate next week

Absolutely! Now where's my anti-hyperventilating bourbon?

Totally agree with you. Especially the way that Ross openly encourages Applicants to refrain from using consultants is very encouraging for international candidates like me.
