Application Requirements
Applicants must have the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution by the time of application. Candidates may request a waiver of standardized test requirements (GMAT, GRE, MCAT, LSAT, PCAT, or DAT), available in conjunction with the application launch in July. Non-native English speakers must submit TOEFL, PTE, or IELTS scores to demonstrate English proficiency. All applicants must submit transcripts, a current resume, responses to essay questions, one recommendation submitted through the GMAC Common Recommendation Form, and the non-refundable $200 application fee. Unofficial copies of transcripts and test scores can be submitted with the application, and official copies will be required upon acceptance. 
Fee waivers are offered for active members and veterans of the U.S Military, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, or Teach for America volunteers who have served within the past five years, currently enrolled students in a University of Michigan graduate degree program, citizens of a country on the UN’s list of least-developed countries, and students who applied to the Ross full-time MBA within the past five years.
When Does Michigan / Ross MBA Issue Interview Invitations?
Interviews are by invitation only and conducted by a current Ross student or alum. Applicants will receive information about the timeline for interview invitations and next steps a few weeks after the application deadline passes. Interviews are offered on campus or with an alum in the applicant’s local area. Skype interviews can be conducted if neither of those options are available.
