Like Ross is still don’t have that name recognition as M7.

There are many mid tier Michigan Tech, Umich people going for MS - you have to make sure to put that you are going for Ross which is T15. In starting only!

There has been drop in quality of admits this year vis a vis last.

Bar is high now. In communication, personality, everything.

I still feel people who have got rejected because of their own mannerism, and conduct.

Btw how much f1 visa rejections for Ross this year you are aware?
I don't think it's appropriate to call out Ross admits tbh
I know some amazing people going to Ross
Just setting the record straight

While it could totally be down to what you're suggesting, ie communication, etx - it looks like there are other reasons

Also, I think we should be obcessing over how to prepare for recruitment, not over stats of visa rejections

Prepare well, perform well in the interview
That's the end of story

Dont take it in a bad way, but how will the stats make any difference to your preparation/ outcome/ interview?
You clearly have it well laid out wrt what to do and what not to do. Maybe just focus on that and hope for the best!
I just want to find\establish the truth.

Like I can’t go confidently to my interview knowing I will be randomly rejected.

I need to understand clearly what gets you rejected once you have top school admit.

I feel your communication, politeness and personality which VO anticipates for a top college admit does not comes out very evidently is the reason. And blame for that be on the concerned student.

It is not 30 sec.

I think total is 2-3 mins.


That is enough.

Like if you say why Michigan Ross and say experiential learning as first point. It proves it.

99% of people I know had 25-30s interviews

But I think we should stop it here

Prepare well

Be confident
It'll be fine

Please don’t take it otherwise bro.

Life is much better if we all introspect.

In case I get rejected I will tell you what I feel I did wrong which led to that rejected.

Peace.

If you are spending 2 cr rs and the reason for doing so is not deeply linked to your dreams (which should come out from your past work and what you want to do in future).

Countless times so many ex VO videos don’t give mugged up answers. That is not the culture of USA

Hope it doesn’t come to that.

Just have your answers will thought out. Dont stress about rejection stats, not gonna yield anything.
If you over prepare and over do it, you'll GET rejected for sure hahah
