While attending the event does not improve chances of admission, the event does provide exposure to an undergraduate business education, which provides attendees with a more clear view of their potential and interest in pursuing a business degree.
Students attending local high schools in each city are encouraged to attend. Citizenship status is not a requirement to attend. We do not accept applications from students living abroad.
Decisions will go out in late April.
No, Discover Ross is specific to the location in which the attendee lives and where they attend high school. Preference is given to students attending local high schools in the area.
