Strike Two !

Reject from Ross
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Forrest Gump

Thank you for considering the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. The Admissions Committee has thoroughly reviewed your application. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a place in the Fall 2006 entering MBA class.

Admission to the program is extremely competitive. The Committee looks at a variety of criteria in evaluating candidates. Academic strengths are assessed through educational background, previous academic work, and standardized test results. Professional accomplishments, as demonstrated through career progress, recommendations, and personal essays, are equally important. Additionally, we seek students who have strong records of leadership in both personal and professional pursuits, as well as individuals whose outstanding communication and interpersonal skills will add to the Business School community. Our decision was further based on an overall comparison of your qualifications with those of other candidates.

Should you wish to reapply to the program, please visit our web site for information on reapplication.

Again, thank you for your interest in the Ross School of Business. The Admissions Committee extends its sincere wishes for your future success.

Sincerely,


Michele Thompson
Associate Director

Forrest,

Remember to exercise and eat well! Good luck to your two remaining schools!

Some sunshine will keep your spirit up. It is not the end of the world to get rejected. One door closes, some other doors will open. I hope one the remaining two will open its door to you. Maybe both.. ;-)
