MAY 2008-Acceptance Thread

[911Med]

Austin travel told me that all M1's had to be there May 1st for orientation.
Are you guys going to skip that?
I only have a verbal acceptance, still have not gotten my acceptance packet with details.

I'm scheduled to arrive on the island on the 3rd, but I was under the impression that orientation is on the 6th and 7th?

Um, not good considering that I haven't seen anything from Ross yet - for all I know the phone call could have been a very well executed April Fool's joke from my buddies - they did manage to link it to the Ross U phone number - so, fortunately, I think it is legit.

I have sent in FA stuff, and reviewed packing lists, but for the most part, if this works out for May, it will be very last minute-seat of my pants-type cannonball run.

That sucks, Ross usually sends the welcome packet via express mail and it take 2 -3 days. wish i cud send u my packet, i only needed the acceptance letter that was in it.

Usually, its your interviewer who calls you and lets you know if you are accepted unless the interviewer told you that some one else would call. If it was some one other than you interviewer than you might have to make sure. also once you are accepted, you are in the system and you should be able to log in as a ross student into the student account using your Soc security number as your student id and your birth date as your pass word. try 6 and 8 digit, not sure about that one with the password. hope that helps.

Hi,
Did anyone get an apartment at Nick's in Balvin by the annex?

How can we contact upperclassmen for books once we get to the island...im getting there on april 28th....or should I just pre-order from the booklist store....to make sure I get all the books by the first day? I can't do it through islandthrift website anymore b/c it won't reach before the first day.
