Consortium for
Graduate Study in Management Applicants
The Ross School
of Business is a member of the
Consortium for Graduate Study in Management,
an alliance of 13 leading American business schools and some of our country's
top corporations.
The mission of The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management is to enhance
diversity in business education and leadership by helping to reduce the serious
underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native
Americans in both our member schools’ enrollments and the ranks of management.
This mission will be achieved by recruiting for graduate business education
qualified U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents from these underrepresented
groups, as well as other persons who can demonstrate a commitment to the
Consortium’s mission and can best assist The Consortium in pursuing this
mission.

Applicant FAQs
What is the
Ross School of Business interview policy for Consortium applicants?
How is the
Consortium interview different from the Ross Admissions interview?
-
A
Consortium interview must be completed prior to submitting your
application. This interview is comprised of questions pertinent to all
participating member schools.
-
A Ross
Admissions interview is by invitation only and at the discretion of the
Admission Committee after review of your application. In addition to
general questions, a Ross Admissions interview will contain questions
specific to the Ross MBA program.
Does my
Consortium interview need to be conducted by a representative from the Ross
School of Business?
-
No. It is
not necessary to interview with an admissions staff member at the Ross
School of Business
-
Your
Consortium interview may be conducted by a representative of any of the
Consortium
member schools or
a Consortium alumnus in your area.
Is it possible
to arrange a Consortium interview at Ross?
-
Yes. To
arrange a Consortium interview at Ross School of Business, please contact
the interview Office at
rossintv@umich.edu . Please include
your contact information and your Consortium Application ID in your email
request. Your subject heading should state your last name and "Consortium
interview request."
When are
invitations for Ross Admissions interviews extended?
-
After
reviewing applications, the Admissions Committee extends interview
invitations at its discretion.
-
Invitations
are extended on a rolling basis.
Do I have to
complete my Ross Admissions interview on campus?
-
No. While
we encourage all applicants to
visit campus, we realize that travel is
not always feasible. We offer the option to interview in person or via
telephone with a Ross Admissions Committee member in Ann Arbor or cities
throughout the US.
What is the
school specific essay I will be required to write if I apply to Ross through the
Consortium?
-
In addition
to the essays required by the Consortium for all candidates, there is a
required school specific question for each member school to which you apply
through the Consortium. The Ross-specific question is:
Please answer both of the following two short answer questions (300 words
each):
a)
If you were not pursuing the career goals you described in Essay 1, what
profession would you pursue instead? (For example, teacher, musician, athlete,
architect, etc.) How will this alternate interest contribute to your
effectiveness in solving multidisciplinary problems?
b)
Describe your experience during a challenging time in your life. Explain
how you grew personally, either despite this challenge or because of it.
