Hi Guys,

Needed some urgent advice! got interview invite couple of days back. Wanted to know how optional and critical is the "optional" team exercise?

I am currently located in Singapore (will opt for off-campus interview in Singapore only) and the locations for team exercise interview are only in Delhi (nearest for me), Seoul, Shanghai and Sao Paulo. Although it will be painful, I can come to Delhi if it will be very critical for the evaluation.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I opted for the team exercise since I am based in Delhi. Not attending the team exercise will not negatively impact your application to Ross (told in an interview by the Admissions Director). If it is easy for you to manage a travel to Delhi, then you should probably attend.

I blocked my interview in Delhi on Feb 7th, along with the team based excercise on Feb 8th, around 4-5 days ago yet I havent received any reply from the Alum who I will be matched with - is anyone else in the same situation?

Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmF-xVTprVA

At the 1:22 mark she notes that it is optional. It kind of sounds like it would be ideal for candidates to do it, but with the travel cost you'll just have to make that decision yourself I guess. We can't really know how helpful it is. I would be surprised if a good candidate would get dinged for not doing it though...

Yeah bro, I too got this email without getting an interview invite. It seems there were two waves of invites for the first round (Oct 24th 2013) and (Nov 14th 2013), so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I got the mail at 6.30 am IST and it jolted me awake :P I wake up at 9:30 usually



Hi,

When did you submit your application in R2? (towards the end or beginning or middle of the deadline?)..

I never got that email..

Thanks,
Matt

I would like to wish that the consultant's statement is not 100% correct since there were multiple waves of interview requests sent in 2011 as per following Ross Ad Com blog archive. Though, it seems like bulk of them are send in the initial wave (based on data published of R1 interview requests).

https://rossblogs.typepad.com/admissions ... pdate.html

I hope that Ross has not changed the process in 2014 and I am not going through the emotions of Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber. ("So you're telling me there's a chance" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqdNe8u-Jsg)

G'Luck,
Matt


That is such a good observation! I hope it hasn't changed!

Hi, I also didn't get any e-mail form Ross...

I submitted application for R2 (12/31 completed)

I hate this situation. I just want to know whether rejection, waiting or still more waves...

Couldn't agree more! Although, I'd rather wait to hear that there is a Wave 2 in the horizon, than take the oh-so-final ding. #conflicted

Hi. If you got your invite a couple of days ago - that means - 20th Jan, 2014. Some got it on 16th; majority on 17th; a few on 18th ....... Does this mean there are still people getting interview invites.

Can you surely say that you got the mail on the 20th ? Just to confirm the hopes of those waiting

Submitted my application on Jan 1st Tokyo Time (Dec 31st, US Time).
The wait is killing me.

On a lighter note, I felt this helpless only when I proposed my wife and she took her sweet time to say a "yes" ;)
Good luck all, in any case, good times await us for sure!

I put in my application near the very end, on January 1st 2014, EST.

Yesterday I got another email from Ross (kicking me awake yet again) but it turned out to be a promotional email - "A Snapshot of our newest students".

I'll be flying into DTW on Feb 23, and interviewing on the 24th. I don't know any people in Ann Arbor. If anyone wants to meet up for a dinner or something on the 23rd, please PM me.

I just received the same email. Anyone have any ideas what it could mean?


I woke up today to find the same thing in my inbox. I replied immediately asking whether they were looking at my app in R2 or R3. I'll post their reply here as soon as I get it.

Ok, Ross Admissions replied. From what they said, I think the interview invites are done, and the email that says your application is 'complete' means you should expect a ding or a WL.

Congrats to those who were invited :).. and the rest of us need to start waiting on our other applications. Stay Strong people!

This is weird, my application still says submitted. Obviously not invited for interview. What does it mean? Dinged?

I just received the following mail, but I was invited to interview on Jan 17 and will take it on Feb 8.

What is the meaning of this mail if I already have an interview?

I guess that Ross just receive my official GMAT and Toefl scores...
