刚做完michigan的电话面试，感觉很糟糕。问了几个问题，why mba，why michigan，contribution，leadership andteamwork，然后我问了一个问题。竟然不到15分钟就结束了。那个二年级的学生声音有点含糊不清，虽然开始要求重复了一次问题并且声音大点，但后来声音还是依旧。看样子真的是不到万不得已，不能电话面试。

不知道面试在整个申请中占的比例有多大？如果大的话，我就不申请michigan了。

interview is just to proof-check you are not a goofball,

don't worry about the interview. essays are far more important.

heard from one alum interviewed me last winter.

弱弱地问:偶这样的,申请michigan有希望吗?

偶工作两年多

以前是在一家TOP 500排名靠前的合资汽车公司工作

最近刚刚跳槽到了一家美国独资公司,大学本科是在国内一所排明前10的大学,目前正在考虑GMAT,不知道偶这样的条件申请michigan希望大不?请各位NN赐教!

另:偶的工作经验是不是太短呢?

谢谢!!

fmea,

2 years of experience is about right. little bit on the short side, but a good essay can definitely fix that.

forget about all the years of experience, gmat, toefl, whatever.

focus on how to make your essays stand up, in a clear concise way. you may have lots of unique experiences others do not have - not necessary work related experience, could be any event in your life, something different from others.

几位ROSS的前辈能否SHARE关于学校创业方面的信息,比如说business plan competition, student club之类, 谢谢.

there are two sides of the story.

one is from investor point of view.

currently there are two venture capital funds started and managed by ross.

one is wolverine venture fund, the oldest one in usa with $3.5MM. there are two chinese students this year sit on its student advisory board (total 7).

another one is frankle fund, a new fund just started this year, focusing on technology commercialization. mostly angel funding or pre-seeds.

then from entrepreneur point of view, there are business plan competition, dare to dream competition, and maybe some more. school will provide fundings from $1,000 to $200,000 for your business ideas if you can convince them.

there are several people have started their companies this way. you can find those companies from ZLI website.

33 or 34 years old. Is it too old for MBA as the statistics indicate that the age range is 20+ to 32. Many thanks

with that many years of experience, you can write some beautiful stories.

try to tie your experience and insights of your industry with the essays. say for example when you talk about your career aspiration, you can try to link your observation of the industry with your goals - what's the current pain in your industry, how do you think you can fix it, in order to do that, you will need mba training etc.

if you have good stories, i can't imagine school will say no.

想再问一下目前Ross的校友，你们现在已经入学1年了吧。你们现在亲身感觉Ross的哪个方面对你们来说最好呢？

谢谢。

To JJLL

Michigan is well respected in the US. During my M-trek (for those really interested in Michigan, M-trek is a pre-school MBA studnets trip with mixed 2nd year and 1st year students), my american peers told me that they gave up offers from Kellogg, Chicago, NYU, Columbia, and Duke for Michigan. While, one guy was considering between UCLA and Michigan. Of course, they have different agenda: for dual program in Environment, in public policy or even for Michigan football team.

As for international students, post-MBA career is the most important issue, unless you are sponsored. Michigan is a great school for consulting, marketing, GM, and even for Finance. Consulting: we have international students getting offers from both Tier 1 and 2 consulting company, both in the US and overseas. Most major consulting firms hold case competitions or strategy scholar award in Michigan. For GM, we have TMI program, which has a solid reputation and great industry network in the US. For marketing, it is not my cup of tea, but it is one of the strongholds of Michigan. As for Finance, Michigan has the most united, though not largest, network in the Wall Street. I am very impressed by the passion and dedication of Michigan alumni in investment banks (which covers Investment banking, sales and trading, and private wealth management).

The most valuable resource in Michigan for job searching is, besides its large alumni network, the studnet-run clubs. Those clubs are well structured and provides very handy assistance to 1st year for summer interns and 2nd year for full time job.         

To all candidates applying for Michigan

Good luck & have fun

看到网页上有这样的要求：“You must have completed calculus with a grade of "C" or better, and the course must have covered both differential and integral calculus.”我没有怎么办？是不是就没资格了？还是有什么其他东西可以代替弥补的呢？

Please note that calculus is enrolment requirement not for application. You can take the course at any credible institution (evening school, online course, etc.) after you receive and accept the admission offer and submit your transcript before the first day of class.

Cheers!

晕倒，我还以为要把学校盖章的成绩单寄送到学校去呢？

多谢ring_cheng;

If you can't find an A3 scanner, my approach last year was to color copy the transcript from A3 to A4, then have it scanned. Better to keep the red stamp.

Cheers!

谢谢飞雪，这里有个小问题，我在申请Ross的时候留了家里的电话，但是因为工作的原因一直东跑西颠的出差，请问Ross在通知Admit或者Ding的时候是通过Email还是电话啊？如果电话一直没人接，会不会Admission Officer有想法啊？

今天刚去见了michele， 她的态度可是很强硬啊@.@

现在大家都考完finals了吧，有没有中国同学还在学校的？
