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
About Me
- Forrest Gump
- I am currently employed as a strategy consultant in a top 3 firm, and apparently an expert on things I have no clue about. Prior to consulting, I was part of the amazing full-time MBA class of 2009 at University of Chicago's Booth School of Business (formerly Chicago GSB). Before business school, I was a project manager in one of India's biggest technology services firms. I am always happy to answer any questions about business school apps and strategies, life in Chicago Booth, and how to prepare for strategy consulting interviews. Feel free to email me at forrestgump47 at gmail dot com if you have questions. If you really want to extract some insightful info out of me, please do ask insightful questions. I often get asked stuff which is easily available on the school website, or are easily searchable.
