Re: Ross (Michigan) 2013 - Calling All Applicants [#permalink] New post   12 Mar 2013, 22:23
From a new P&Q article:

The single biggest decline in selectivity occurred at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business after a 16.8% drop in applications last year. Ross is now reporting an acceptance rate of 40.6%, up 8.4 points from 32.2% only a year earlier.
...
Kwon said the school is now experiencing an uptick in application volume, but it still expects to reduce the size of the entering class this year. “We expect to bring our acceptance rate back down this coming year as our application volume is up by almost 10%, the uncertainty around yield is back to more “normal” levels, and we are reducing our class size to 2008 levels (a reduction of roughly 12%).”
...
But despite the drop, Michigan’s applicant pool was so deep that it was able to maintain both its GMAT and GPA scores which are exactly the same as they were a year earlier: an average GMAT of 703 with an average GPA of 3.40.

With a 10% increase in the number of applications, and a 12% reduction in the number of spots, I think Ross' acceptance rate may drop even below 30% this year. Well, these are just numbers and will keep changing. I really don't care.

All I want is a call from 734.

As long as the yield improves, the acceptance rate is almost certain to drop below 30%. That combined with an improvement in recruiting will push it back up the rankings next year.

Basically with a 10% increase in application numbers would be close to 2700 applicants and with a targeted class size of 440 and a yield in the 50%s. we are looking at an acceptance rate of 30 to 33% assuming the yield is between 50-55%.

We are here, waiting. Hope, we don't give up! Yield, number of applicants, spots in the class, for us with hope, those stats do not impact us! :-D . I didn't major in math, but religious studies, thus i believe things are powered by hope/faith, not stats :-D !

*3am CST time here, anyone has any idea when the calls will start today?

You'll be emailed the information by the same adcom member who calls you to let you know you've been admitted.

Not getting a call yesterday kinda hurt. If I'm in a Maryland suburb of DC and I don't get a call today should I assume I didn't get into Ross?

Don't give up hope. There was no guarantee that all calls for those cities would be made yesterday. I think some people will be pleasantly surprised when they get a call today.
