Today, I completed my Ross Application. Some say making the first step is always the toughest. Hope the subsequent ones will be easier. I was getting slightly paranoid in the end, reading the whole applications again and again. Anyway its done and I got a mail from ROss saying that the app has been accepted. Now wait, watch and pray.

Some leanings from the app experience.

  • Give the recomendors enough time. It was a mad rush in the end to get them to do it on time 😦
  • Don’t be complacent. I had downloaded the recommendation qns from the Ross website a long time back and it turned out to be of last yr. I found it out in the last minute (hence the paranoia with the rest of the application) which caused a bit of a problem for the recomendors as I had to explain my mistake to them. They were quite gracious in overlooking the mistake. Thanks guys.
  • Make sure that you see to it that your GMAT and TOEFL scores reach the ad-com in time. I had a scare at this…

Things I liked:

  • The embark.com’s software for application. Quite neat. All the other schools I am applying to are using applyonline.com’s software for the application.
  • Loved the fact that all the stuff in the application was using PDF. A proud moment for an Adobe guy 🙂

Ross is one of the places I really want to get into. I love the school, the people I have interacted with and everything about it. The next app is of another school that too interests me a lot. Tuck…
