If anyone who has completed the on site group interview share their thoughts that would be greatly appreciated....

Does anybody know, by any chance, Ross' ratio for "admission/interview"?

Soojin from a 2011 interview: What percentage of interviewed applicants are accepted? A high percentage, maybe 70%. I don’t know off the top of my head. Well, we try to interview people who are going to be wait listed as well so we get those assessments in advance. Those in round one who get waitlisted may stack up higher against those applicants in round two. So it’s nice to have already completed the interview. https://poetsandquants.com/2011/12/15/the-gatekeeper-to-michigans-ross-school-of-business/6/ I would assume it is similar this year.

has anyone heard about the class size? I know last year they dropped to 450 from 505.

You're high on both ends, but yes, the class size is down. Class of 2014 is ~480 Class of 2015 is ~420

where are you getting your numbers? class of 2014 - 502 https://www.bus.umich.edu/RecruiterInfor ... ba2014.htm class of 2015 - 455 https://www.bus.umich.edu/RecruiterInfor ... ba2015.htm does anyone know what class size they are aiming for class of 2016?

I did based on what I know (didn't look up class sizes). Avg section size in my class is 80, six sections -> 480 announcement from the dean's office last year class size was going down by ~60 students: ~420. I'll look though my emails and post anything else I find on the matter.
