I don't think they call 3x the number of seats, they accept 3x the number of seats. As in they accept 1050 people which correlates to what is at the start of this thread.

1131 got accepted. 3k applied, maybe they interviewed 1,500 of those 3k or maybe they interviewed 2,500 of those 3k and from there they accepted 1131.

agas2504

You can calculate that ig. Yield is 33% so they call three times the number of available seats. That’s like 1050 people. Assuming 4k people apply. That’s 25%

Thank you! This would be the second such email though the first one surfaced on Monday I believe... so not sure how much faith to put into those emails anymore 😣

SohiniSengupta

I got a mail back from Ross Ad-com that all the interview invites are sent for R2. The waitlist or denial decision will be released on 14th of March. Lost my opportunity. All the best to the ones who got the invite.

For R1, applicants received most invites around mid Oct, a few received it later too. Previously also when R1 applicants enquired with the Adcom they shared the same email... ! Good luck everyone who have received the invites and to those who are waiting for it... , Best wishes.

That sounds about right.
I was admitted in round 1 but I declined their offer due to the amount of scholarship I received from them. I ended up choosing Yale. If I had to guess why their yield is so low, a big part is due to the lack of generosity. Ross is really stingy with financial aid.

The yield is also great news for those who are waitlisted. It means they will be using their waitlist more often to fill seats. This is a stark difference from Harvard and Stanford because their yield is higher.
Good luck folks.

Who did you email?

Even I didn’t receive anything
Looks like,for most of the people they received maximum invite yesterday.
So I guess I should safely assume that it’s over for me from ross perspective

I sent an email to Adcom today and it was confirmed that all invites were sent out yesterday.

Questions that might be asked are: Why MBA, Why now, Why Ross? Post-MBA (short term and long term) goals, introduction, few questions from your resume(current/past roles), leading a project/ experience working with the team, challenges faced, how were you able to deal the situation, what was the impact? , what and how will you contribute to the community? , questions about Ross or for the team. Good luck!

Hey guys, just finished my interview with a first year student, super friendly. But the interview only lasted 35 minutes, and I’m afraid I didn’t perform well.

I would not worry too much about it.
The interview is not what gets you in or not really. The student does it as a job and they have a fairly generous instruction and after a while if they have a lot of interviews, and they have little time, it gets to be transactional and it is just let's get it over with faster.

I believe Ross doers not pay their students to interview either, so this is voluntold type of thing and if the student has recruiting/etc they have very little time, so don't feel bad. The usual length is 30 mins usually. That's what the students are asked to take and spend. Then they have to enter notes and make recommendations.

P.S. I have known a student interviewer at Ross who put down "do not recommend" and the person still got admitted so just trust the process and you can't change anything anyway

Woah! Had no idea about all this! Is this possible for other schools as well? My interview with Kellogg is with a 2nd year student, so I was hoping that the same is true there as well 😅😅

Wow, thank you so much for sharing! All my R1 schools had AO interviews, so this is my first time doing an alumni interview. It feels different, and I was a bit worried. But your answer really helped ease a lot of my anxiety. Now we wait for March 14—hope for an offer call!
