Episode 804 — Part-Time MBA Admissions Process

On this episode of the Working for the Weekend podcast, hosts and Weekend-MBA students Sam Levine and Sophie Huq sit down with Sarah McIntosh, Director of Admissions for Part-Time MBA Programs at the Ross School of Business, and Aleena Tan, Admissions Officer, to discuss the process of applying to the Ross Part-Time MBA programs.

McIntosh and Tan give insight into what makes a good essay, address the application’s new action-based learning question, and shed light on the free Quantitative Readiness Course that applicants can take to prepare them for the program. They stress the importance of doing research to discover why Michigan Ross is a good fit for you.

To close the conversation, McIntosh and Tan explore Michigan Ross’ holistic approach to assessing each application in which no one part of the student profile is more important than any other.
