Deadline for Ross Portfolio

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan
1

Hello,
What is the deadline for EA to Ross? According to the website, you have to apply to another college first, and then do the business portfolio. Can you submit them both at the same time? I know you have to be accepted into Michigan before Ross looks at your application. I’m just confused about the timeline for doing the portfolio.
Thanks!

OK, but the link isn’t sent until the common app is sent. I kept thinking I had to send in the common app by 11/1, but it turns out that has to be in earlier, so that the Ross app can be sent in. Thanks!

The EA app deadline is 11/1. Your Ross Preferred Admission Portfolio will complete YOUR app, but should be done on or before 11/1. Otherwise, if you submit your Ross Preferred Admission portfolio after 11/1, UMich might not consider it, depending on capacity.

Yep its 11/1 on both…so annoying Ross takes at least 3 months from receipt of portfolio to make a decision…i understand the LSA first decision etc…

Turned my portfolio in on Halloween Eve last year, the Ross Admissions Team didn’t even get to see it until after I got accepted into LSA on March 1st. Then I got accepted into the last wave on March 29th. No matter what happens trust the process.

@YoopOfM if you are comfortable sharing your stats, would be appreciated…Ross is #1 choice - 35 ACT, 3.95 UW Michigan GPA…application is in.

@DG my stats aren’t too hard to find with my under 20 replies. I’d say your stats are most definitely competitive, but stats are definitely not everything (as shown by my stats if you take a look). If you believe in your essays and portfolio then that’s all that matters.

Yeah a definite wildcard re essays and portfolio, I think they’re great but lol that doesn’t matter. Have a handful of safeties so will see what happens…

If you’re at Ross currently would love to hear how you like it etc so far…culture, class difficulty and environment (cuttthroat vs. collaborative)…thanks @YoopOfM

@DG I am currently a freshman at Ross, and I really can’t speak for on how the vibe is as I am only currently enrolled in BA 100, which is just a 7 week required minicourse. But from the gyst of what I have heard, it’s kind of like every other school, you have the kids that are cut-throat, but also the collaborative ones. Myself, I will most definitely be a collaborator ?.
