Dear Ross applicants, we recently published a blog detailing the in-depth journey of a current Ross MBA candidate (Shivam Singh) here: https://admitstreet.com/blog/shivam-michigan-ross-mba-success/.
Here are the excerpts from the article, covering the interview process, key questions and tips:
Acing the Ross MBA Interviews
The interviews are generally conducted by either the admissions committee members (AdCom) or Ross alumni. There’s also the possibility of a second-year MBA student conducting the interview, especially during campus visits.
A shift to virtual interviews has been observed post-COVID. Interviews typically last between 30 to 45 minutes, although you might want to plan for an hour to accommodate any small talk or unexpected questions. Most interviews are behavioral and conversational, aiming to gauge your fit with the Ross culture, your leadership qualities, and career goals.
Some common questions revolved around leadership experiences, handling failure, community engagement, and specific post-MBA goals. For Ross, there was a strong focus on teamwork and innovation.
Key Interview Questions
1. Leadership Experiences: “Tell me about a time you led a team. What were the challenges, and how did you handle them?” Here, they are looking for your ability to lead, motivate, and whether you have a participative or authoritarian style.
2. Handling Failure: “Describe a situation where you failed. How did you handle it, and what did you learn?” Ross values resilience and the ability to learn from failure.
3. Community Engagement: “Can you share your experiences with Digital Wings Foundation?” This question taps into your social responsibility and how you plan to contribute to the Ross community and beyond.
4. Post-MBA Goals: “What are your short-term and long-term career goals post-MBA?” With this, Ross is gauging whether their program aligns with your aspirations.
5. Teamwork and Innovation: “Tell me about a time you had to innovate or think outside the box while working in a team.” Ross places a heavy emphasis on teamwork and innovative thinking.
6. Ross-Specific: “Why Ross?” or “How do you plan to take advantage of Ross’s MAP (Multidisciplinary Action Projects) program?” Your answer here should be tailored to Ross’s specific offerings that align with your career goals.
Tips for Candidates
1. Research the School: Understand the core values and culture of each institution, and relate your answers to their specific offerings and ethos.
2. Prepare Your Story: Have clear, concise narratives ready for common questions but also be ready to adapt and think on your feet.
3. Show Genuine Interest: Be passionate about why you’re choosing that particular school, referring to specific courses, professors, or clubs that excite you.
4. Practice with Peers: Simulate interviews with friends or mentors, ideally those familiar with MBA interviews, to build confidence and refine your answers.

All the best!
