So this might be a dumb question but if you get a scholarship that covers tuition and mandatory fees does that include your deposit? I realize that sort of defeats the purpose of the deposit ensuring you matriculate but I'm just wondering.

does anyone have info on how Ross will do their decisions? They say round 2 decisions are the 15th but if the draft happens on the 11th do we still have to wait till the 15th?

Not a dumb question. I'm sure others have the same question, I know I did a few months ago. I've been told by multiple adcoms that the fellowship doesn't cover the deposit

I dont think the draft is the 11th. My Darden interview is 2pm on the 11th. I also noticed they had interview slots into the next week.

Yeah all I'm getting is crickets as well. #frownface I have this irking feeling tomorrow we will receive another email extending the decision date again. That or most of R2 got dinged. #mynerves Posted from my mobile device

Did you guys even get an interview? I never even got an interview, so I am expecting a ding, but just the fact that my app was uploaded to their system a few days ago makes me suspicious about their decision date too.

ughh I really hope that its not later than the next week. The waiting period is starting get frustrating

Per Jon Fuller (Ross AD), the day after the draft will be when they start calling applicants (12th/13th).

I interviewed last Wednesday on Skype, and haven't heard anything yet from McCombs (except transcript upload email) March 8th does seem pretty fast since they still had Skype interview slots a couple days past mine last week but who knows. Fingers crossed for everyone -
