Round 1 Update

As I stated in an earlier blog post, we extend our interview invitations in two batches. The first batch went out on October 24 and the second batch went out on November 14. If you have not received an interview invitation (be sure to double-check your spam folders!), you should not automatically assume that you will be “rejected” at the end of this round; you may be waitlisted and invited to interview at a later date.

All Round 1 admissions decisions will be posted on January 13th. You will receive an email from our office about a week prior to that date with instructions on how to access your decision.

Ross Admissions wishes you a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday. Our students got an early start on holiday festivities - take a look at the Ross Ambassador blog to see some pictures from the Section 6 Thanksgiving Potluck!

Does that imply Ross is going to stop its last year's process of calling admitted applicants personally over phone to inform them of the admit?

Hi Soojin,

I have some feedback regarding your admission portal.

First, navigation in the portal is difficult. No where I could find a link to check the status of my app (Completed/Under Review).

Second, there is no application checklist to know if I have missed any document.

Third, the pop up that comes after uploading any document is incorrect. As in, my one page resume spills over to the next page in the pop up. Now, if you take a print of that, it will show up as a one and half page resume (which is bad for me). If you take the print of the pdf that I uploaded, then it is okay. Can you please clarify how it works?

Fourth, I had received an email from admission office regarding a missing document. I sent a scanned copy on the very same day. Around 10 days later, I received an email again asking for the same document. I had to again send it. Now, due to this, my application was not considered for a long period (though I had acted upon receiving the first mail). I am still not sure whether my application was considered for R1. It would be great if your team can acknowledge the receipt of missing documents so that applicants can have some clarity.

I hope I did not sound harsh. I think the whole application experience would be enhanced if these points are incorporated.

Hi Soojin,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for what I wrote on your blog in October. I never got an invite from Ross, but I'm not bitter. Good luck to you and class of 2014.

Sincerely,
Ross Hopeful
