Full-Time MBA Admissions Blog

In these unprecedented times, I’ve been inspired by the courage and contributions of the Michigan Ross community.

We are...

We get a lot of questions about Round 3 from applicants, and we’ve learned applicants have many misconceptions. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

The admissions team and I are back to work reviewing Round 2 applications and we want to share important interview information with you to help with your planning. 

The admissions team is in the final stages of making a list (of whom to admit) and checking it twice. This means Round 1 decision notifications are right around the corner! 

The Admissions team has enjoyed meeting candidates where they live and work. And one of the questions we frequently get from them is: “When is the best time for us to visit schools?”

Round 1 interview invitations will be going out soon! We want to help ease some nerves by sharing information about the interview process, Team Exercise, and how to prepare for both.

Applying to business school can be a bewildering process. While schools post their admissions criteria on their websites, applicants still wonder, “But what are they really looking for?” That question is even more bewildering for reapplicants (candidates who applied but were not admitted in a prior year), especially when they don’t get feedback from the AdCom about why they were not admitted.

Chatting with students currently enrolled in MBA programs can be a valuable part of your school research process. At Michigan Ross, we have more than 200 current students willing, ready, and excited to connect with you, answer your questions, and share their Ross experiences with you. 

One of the parts of the application process that candidates often underestimate is the time it takes to write a good letter of recommendation. Trust me, I know, from having had to write rec letters myself.
