Upon acceptance to Ross, I was informed that a $500 deposit is due to reserve place in the class for Sept. '06. The letter states that it is due within 2 weeks of receiving the letter. I am still waiting to hear back from 9 U.S. schools about a final decision, as I am many of you are too. Does anyone know if Ross will give extensions on the deadline of the deposit to reserve a place, or is this another way of making money. Ross must know that many students are still awaiting word from many U.S. schools at this stage of the game.

By all means, if the deadline is true to its word, the deposit will be sent in asap. Any of you in a similar situation? I am also waiting to hear back from SGU as well...should be hearing back withinn the next few days or so. Do they put you in similar situation, asking for a deposit well in advance to reserve a place? Thanks.

My suggestion would be to ask the Ross Dean of Admissions.

Definetly call the office and find out. What will happen is you will get a call from your advisor telling you that Ross has accepted 600 students and really need your deposit to secure your seat. This happened to me for the sept 05 class. Why not just send the 500 and save your seat, this is like common practice among students applying to US schools.

This is what I will do end up doing. $500 in the grand scheme of

Yes, all schools require a deposit to hold your seat - even SGU.

If you wait, you may risk losing your seat in that class. The class fills not by accepted students but by students who submit their deposit. At Ross you are actually lucky - they credit your whole deposit towards tuition unlike at least one other of the popular Caribbean schools which keeps a portion of your deposit (for what nobody knows).
