Just to keep myself entertained for the next couple weeks... does anyone know the approximate percentage of applicants that Ross interviews, and then the percentage of interviewed applicants that get accepted?

I am just going to say it -- the subject line of their latest email, "Decision Notification | Stephen M. Ross School of Business," made my heart jump out of my chest. I thought I was in for an early surprise!!! Nope. But good that they are reminding me to wait until December 20... Anyone else nearly have a heart attack?

My guess is that it went out to everyone, meaning you will be receiving a decision (admitted, wait-listed, denied) no matter what on that date.

Yes! At the cost of sounding stupid, I want to ask what is "UMICH uniqname"? I have gone through all Ross Admission mails and the online HTML form but can't figure it out. Help anyone?

I actually had to call the number in the email (the email address provided didn't work) and ask for help. I would suggest you do the same!

I had the same reaction! The uniqname is basically your school email and user name. I went to Michigan for undergrad so that is the only way I knew. I am surprised they would create one for all applicants and release decisions that way
