Ross MBA1 taking questions

[Allenr]

As title. In order to celebrate finishing my first final exams in Ross Business School, I would like to answer any question your MBA prospectors may have, under the condition that you did some home works, by that I meant something more than the rankings.

All right, let's GO BLUE. SHOOT ME!

Allenr兄
可以請問Ross Phd下有關IB-BE這個program嗎?!
該program的經濟走向為何?偏重總經還是個經?
又申請phd是否看重thesis這部份...
我知道有篇thesis最好,但我系上教授卻強烈建議我多修課更適當...
跟他討論了半天,他說不如實際去問我欲申請學校的方向是否重視thesis還是課業深度表現...當然兩者皆有最棒了,但目前受限能力與時間,可能得做個抉擇...所以希望能夠專研對方所最重視部份!!

不好意思,不是有關mba的問題...
但我想你在那邊或許系上其他program的詳細情形也有所耳聞或觀察
謝謝囉~~

哇, 五指你是來砸場子的喔? Phd我真的幫不上忙啦。我只知道我們MBA的經濟學教授有一大票是芝加哥學派滴，然後總經的部份通常是請社會科學院的王牌來開課，該王牌的講座我聽了一次，自由放任主義傾向強烈，難怪受到我們MBA歡迎。

抱歉沒有任何有用的資訊，我想你還是得問Phd的學生才行...

好冷清，只好自己推一下。要是本校adcom知道今年台灣學生對我們反應這麼冷，可能明年又更少台灣人了 :(

Allenr兄,

我想很多人都很興奮看到你願意釋疑, 但可能跟我一樣怕問出來的問題
會是obviously did not do some homework ,我們再努力study
一下喔~感恩呀!

Allenr兄,請別擔心, 今年要申請ROSS第一輪的人很多哩, 我也是要趕第一輪, 希望機會會大一點

現在正在跟一位台灣的校友約面試時間, 確定之後就可以將所有線上申請的文件送出了

其實是很想跟Allenr請教一下面試需要注意的地方跟心得, 當然還有該校有的一些backgroud, 只是不確定在這邊發問適不適合...

Well, 你不問問看怎麼知道適不適合呢? 有問題還是別憋著比較好

Allenr大哥~我來搶頭香~請問~你在申請過程中所認識的Ross Business School與你現在體驗中的Ross Business School有什麼不同處? 唸到目前為止你最大的收穫是什麼呢?

That is a good question.
Honestly, however, there is no difference between my impression to Ross and the true exprience here in it. :p

Concisely, I would say that generally Ross students are:
Practical, down to the earth, energetic, straight-forward, and truly well-rounded.

Consequently, the education policy of our school is designed to enhance the characteristics mentioned above, and here are some examples:
1. The UNIQUE MAP program -- sending MBA1s to work on real projects, from USA to Amazon (the jungle, not the dot com), from Fortune 100 to start-ups, from the evil empire (M$) to non-profit. Students spend whole 7 weeks on their particular projects, leveraging what they just learned from the core courses, and thus make REAL IMPACTs to the organization they work for -- most of the time, the projects would become real business manuveurs.
2. Wolverine Venture Fund: A student-run venture capital fund, real money to invest in real project, and there are successful IPOs from the portfolio already.
3. Courses designed with pragmatism like the Private Equity Finance course – Rather than computing numbers or playing with the formulas, the students are asked to study the current market, pick up target buy-outs, and make M&A proposals, and then propose to the real Private Equity shops. Once the proposal get accepted by the shops, students will even get Financial reward, and last year students got 100k USD in this class!
4. The WSJ ranking, which reflects the recruiters’ views, ALWAYS compliments Ross MBAs as “productive talents WITHOUT attitudes,” and thus ranks Ross higher than the formidable HSWK.
5. Who likes us most? GE, 3M, M$, and others who appreciate not only superior intelligence but also inborn action-takers.

Furthermore, Ross believes that the core courses are the most important courses for EVERY student. Therefore, unlike most other top schools, the Ace professors in Ross actually teach the core courses for MBA1s. Believe me, that makes a huge difference! We have black belt (6 sigma) students taking core statistic class; a bunch of CFAs took core Finance, and respected marketers like me taking core marketing. The fact is – the more you know before you stepping into the class, the MUCH more you take away from the class. And many of those who waived the core courses are really regretful for that.

As to my biggest take-away so far, it is definitely friendship. I dare say that people from the mid-west are usually more genial and warm than those from New England and more serious and practical than those from the West coast, and thus, naturally, the mid-west students are simply of better potential to be the friends you can trust without a heartbeat.

感謝Allenr的珍貴分享
已經約到跟在台校友面試了, 讓我覺得有點疑惑的是,
地點是約在丹堤咖啡? 感覺好casual喔
還有他也跟我說There is no dress code for this interview. Just relaxed and be yourself.

會不會是我太緊張了? 因為現在為了準備面試的那些題目搞的我患得患失的, 因為十在擔心一切的努力都會因為面試的一個小差錯造成無法挽救的遺憾

不知道Allenr對David Lee這位校友有什麼樣的認識呢?

[sophiechen]

謝謝Allenr的分享
這是我心目中最理想的學校
但是現在還準備再戰at(上次考670)
不知道這間學校有"多"看重at呢(我已經在KPMG工作六年)
雖然知道這麼問有點笨
但還是想問一下
不想因為at不夠高而被reject

[sophiechen]

另想問一下
以貴校而言
在台灣面試和在美國面試何者有利
因為據說台灣只有兩位面試人
