"The depth of knowledge of the admissions staffer who conducted my interview. Her husband is a Ross grad, and she even lived with him on the island while he was going through school. She's been affiliated with Ross since...11 plus years. Not to mention, she was incredibly laid back, casual, and welcoming. Also, there really were no "sales tactics" either...although there was a push to get people who applied for the September class (like myself) to switch to May instead."

"While I was thinking hard on one of the medical ethics scenario questions, there was someone next door talking loudly, and obviously, the wall between us had zero noise absorption effect so I heard him word-for-word clearly and my thoughts were disrupted, which made me super anxious."

They bring in a student who is currently doing his/her rotations in Miami in the hospital across the street from the Ross U offices, and she tells you Everything you need to know about living out there, about crime, about flying down there, about clothes, money, books, education, teacher-student relationship, everything.

"I don't think Ross gives itself enough credit, occaisionally referring to itself as a second chance school for some of it students. Now, that may be the case at times or the general public's perception, but why play into the stigma? It has a tendency to scare off someone like myself, who is still in the running at several U.S. schools and instead looking at Ross for the unique challenges and culture it offers. They should've pushed more the truly one-ofa-kind learning the can give you that you can't get in the states. Also, I don't like the fact they have a HUGE entering class of 300 plus in September. " More from this Member | Report Response

"My interviewer said the reconstruction after the hurricane Maria SHOULD be completed in January 2019. The reconstruction may be extended, but they are unsure as of now. She also said that the LMU students are not sharing the exact same facility with Ross students. A recent significant new improvement made for Ross students is that they have implemented an individualized counseling system for clinical rotations. The students in the past received no help and no guidance while they were doing rotations; now Ross assigns one counselor (or someone similar) for each student throughout the rotation." More from this Member | Report Response

"The admissions staff are very nice, helpful, and overall I feel that they give pretty good advice. Obviously they are trying to sell their school, just like anywhere, but I definitely appreciate how honest they are about the process, risks, and advice for prospective students. I didn't feel I was being tricked into attending, but rather that this was simply a way to reach my goal when other methods have failed." More from this Member | Report Response

"If you are coming from NY or going through the NYC area, please give yourself at least twice the regular travel time.

"Overall the interview went well. I was surprised to see my interviewer had a list of questions to ask me. She wrote down as many notes as she could. Remember to be short and concise but don't be afraid to add detail. Focus on your unique aspects of your application. Don't forget to smile!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Interviewer was very formal and kept a straight face. She asked all the questions from her sheet: Why Ross, why medicine, adapting to 3rd world country, relationship with patients, clinical experiences, improvements to healthcare, preparation for medicine, strength/weaknesses, explain your marks, explain your MCATs, anyone family in medicine, any else you would like to tell the admissions committee. She was kind in asking follow up question if she felt that you should expand on a question." More from this Member | Report Response

"Positive. The interviewer seemed to genuinely be interested in my application. Unlike US schools where they ask 'what makes you think you're good enough for our school?' Ross tried to make sure I'd be a good fit." More from this Member | Report Response

"unsettling. felt the interviewer was so detached. all the questions were so general. felt she was so uninterested, if anyone from Ross comes across this, whether the interviewer is actually employed through your university or not, during the interview they are representing your institution and if she seems uninterested it can make the applicant feel Ross is uninterested. honestly afterwards felt like ''what was the point of that?'' but we'll see, was told it would be approx. 2 weeks to hear back."

"I was interviewed at the irvine location - i waited in a small waiting room of a devry graduate division office. The interviewer was from the start friendly and easy to talk to. She showed me into a classroom, where i was interviewed. Questions were very general and expected thanks to sdn. After the interview, she answered some of my questions and showed me a video. I think she could tell from my answers that i was a little insecure about my grades but when she looked at my file she was reassuring and told me ''you didn't do that bad at all...just a few bumps on the road'' so that made me feel at ease for the rest of the interview. " More from this Member | Report Response

"it was very chill. the guy who interviewed me worked for ross admissions and had no clue what being a doctor was about. This was bad. I over-prepared for the interview but I think it was worth it. I was very confident and profession in the interview and I knew I nailed it about 5 min into the interview. I also became less interested in the school after the interview. I thought it was too unprofessional and they guy could not answer a lot og my questions and had a vibe that ross was not that great of a school. I heard good things about ross before going there and was bummed out that I thought the school was eh after the interview. my stats were 3.6 gpa and 22 mcat if you have similar stats. I applied 9/20/2007 asked to interview 10/10/2007 interviewed 10/16/2007 accepted 10/24/2007 " More from this Member | Report Response

Interview was at 10 am, i arrived at 9:30, my interviewer did notice this point (so dont be late!!), receptionist greeted me very nicely, looked through some brochures on the school, interviewer came out 10 min later, a casual chat, then came back few mintues later to start the interview. Lasted about hour, then saw a video on the school, with one other prospective student (although they mentioned there was supposed to be 10 other students that time). An admissions counselor came in and answered all our questions, lasted about another hour, then left. the whole thing i would say was about 2 hours long." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview itself went well, but Miami was HOT!Flying was a nightmare and so was the hotel. The hotel was very close to the interview office. I got there at 8:00am, and waited for 10 min. My interviewer was very nice and he joked a bit, it was very relaxing and I learned a lot from him. After the interview we watched a vedio, and a 5th semester student walked in to talk to us. He was very informative and honest about sharing good and bad experience he had with ROSS. He then took us to their hospital right across the street but we didn't see a lot of it. After that, we had lunch with all the interviewers and admission members. We talked a lot; it was fun. " More from this Member | Report Response

"For the Chicago office it's at 225 W. Washington in the DeVry Building. I arrived at Washington/Wells via the Brown Line ''EL” at 9:40am for a 10am appointment. I checked in on the West side door and walked to the East side entrance to let them know I was here. I waited for 10 minutes until my interviewer came down to get me. My questions where straightforward. I have a lot of experience so I did not want to ramble too much. I did here the phone ring in the middle of a question/answer; I presume it was another interviewee arriving, and the front desk paging my interviewer, so just ignore it. Also, when your interviewer jots down notes, I presume its not verbatim what I was saying, but that e.g. I was clearly answering question #2 without hesitation, with confidence and that I had thought about what my process entailed. Again, this is what I presume or would do if the roles where reversed. I was slightly nervous the night before, but was well relaxed after I first sat down in the office. If you need to extrapolate in an area, he/she will guide you for more detail. My advice: relax and believe in all your accomplishments." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was not a good experience. AS soon as I walk in, the receptionist just wanted to snatch my coat away to hang it in closet. Interviewer just asked me to follow him, and started his Q's with out introducing himself. Very uncomfortable!!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Know your transcript and MCAT scores well especially for those who think they are on the chopping when it comes to their grades and scores...have an honest explanation about why they aren't really great...trust me, i was honest in saying that biochem was really really hard for me...i said that i tried my best and apparently my best was a C and he took that as an answer...because they do ask why you got low grades in particular classes...also they look upon the fact that you retook a class and aced really really positively...so if you can do that to kind of void out the C's you have in your transcript...it would looked upon as a very good thing" More from this Member | Report Response

"I was very relaxed. The people were very nice. We were only 2 students to be interviewed. I went inot a room w my interviewer for 45-50 min. Then we saw a video, then talk to a current Ross student doing a rotation in Larkin Hosp, and then have lunch all of us (we-2 students, the 2 interviewers, Ross student, and the Dean). " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was very nice. I was nervous at the begining, but the interviewer was really nice and that helped me to relax. He wrote almost everything I said down. Which was a bit distracting, but I made myself focus on the questions he was asking. The whole day was short in general. There was a video presentation about Ross, in which former and current students spoke about thier experiences. The day ended with lunch with dean of admissions and the interviews. That was the most relaxing part and fun part." More from this Member | Report Response

"Starting from the beginning: Since I'm in Atlanta, they called me down to Miami to visit them there, where they also have clinical rotations. They let me know about Best Western Hotel nearby (10 min walk, free shuttle to and from airport & interview site) which gives discounts to students for Ross (or wanna be students, too!) $79. I bought about $150 ticket round trip with AirTran ($59 one way sale), and then the $80 hotel, and then food for dinner & breakfast, added up to $20. They have breakfast there, but it's not free. They have a restaurant there and it's about $8-10 for a buffet breakfast. Lots of food, but go easy on the breakfast so you're not stuffed or sleepy. I got on the shuttle around 7:45 am after breakfast, and got to the interview site just about 5 min later. There may be other students in the van also, so get to know them and don't feel shy or intimated talking to them. Once we got there, we got int he elevator and went straight to the penthouse. They don't tell you this, but we happened to meet a kid in the van who had attended the interview the day before and he was off to the airport. So you want to go straight up the penthouse (top floor) I think Floor 15 or something. Then, walk out and you'll see the Ross U sign, and the doors are really tough to open, so make sure you PUSH hard! Someone tried walking in late, but couldn't so ended up knocking on the door (he stood out a little)--just cause the doors are difficult to open. Anywya, they say hi, and crack a few jokes, to make everyone feel comfortable. When I was there, there were 2 interviewers. Each interviewer took 1 student with him and walked off into a room (2 interviews going on in separate rooms at the same time) while the rest of us sat around in a meeting room and walked a little video on Ross. We talked and chatted and had fun. When one interview was over, that person came in and waited with us, while one of us went with the now free interviewer. This happened for a few hours. The interviews were not ... Timed. They just happened. some were longer than the other, depedning on how much you ahd to say and how much they asked. They had specific questions, that they had to ask, but it was totally cool if you interrupted them, and asked them questions too about Ross. It was very discussion-like, except he threw in questions evry once in a while. My interviewer was Tom Hueller. Really awesome fun nice guy. He made me feel like he was tyring to get a good image of who I am, what my goals are, why I pursued medicine, etc. He even would re-iterate my answers so that he made sure he understood me correctly. If he was incorrect, then I corrected him. We had a ball, laughed, and cracked up the whole time. It was a lot of fun. If you have the personality. Take it easy. Let yourself be professional but not toooo formal. Know your stuff be yourself. You'll meet others there who may seem -more- qualified than you, but try not to Be them. BE yourself. Just yourself. Some other questions we covered: -Strengths /Weaknesses? -Do Grades show potential? -What cultural exposure have you had? -Give an example when you had to adapt to a situation and explain how you did it. (with regards to cultural adaptability in caribbean) -Favorite non-science course taken -Worst Science Course -When did you know you wanted to be a doctor? -Did you have a mentor in the medical field? -Why Ross? -Is there anything else you want to discuss, that will add to your application? He had the file open right there in fron t of him, and he took notes the whole time, so don't be bothered by that. Don't even pay attention to it. Just make sure he gets a good idea of who you are. After the interview, you all sit in the meeting room talking to the student performing her clerkships (or rotations) in Miami, and you can ask her all the personal questions you want. Really good way to get to know what it's really like down south. She was very very informative, and really got me interested in going there! Then you all meet up with the interviewers & the president Or something, and go to the hospital across the street for lunch. We ate lunch around 1-1.30 (maybe a little early..we were waiting for aquite some time for the interviewers to come downt ot he lobby), and then we just sat and talked about all kinds of non-medically related stuff.. just getting to know them all. It was a lot of fun!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I arrived an hour early so I just sat in the office reading my magazine (I wasn't from the area and I thought rush hour traffic would be really bad). The interviewer made me feel really comfortable.

Just remember - relax and smile =)" More from this Member | Report Response

"I went 2-3 hours early, thinking I'd find a place to eat somewhere near by. NO! there was NOTHING except japanese food, which I might add, open their restraunts at 11am! so I ended up eating a bit from vending machines. I still was early for the interview. The staff in the office were very friendly and accomodating. Then came the interview, it was easy going, but formal. It didn't feel like a conversation, or chill meeting with a stranger. It was relaxed, the interviewer makes you comfortable to a certain level yet still maintains professional etiquette. Do not mistake the interview as a formality towards entering this school - there are people I know of with good scores who did not get accepted. Overall, this website helps the most- it has similiar questions and prepares you well on what to expect. I actually know a number of people who attend and attended Ross. It is a school that does prepare you well to practice medicine , there is a high attrition rate, and yes they do sometimes accept people with lower scores- but they are giving people a chance. The ones who prove themselves are the ones who make it to the end, and become great physicians. The rest, are in the crowd that fails out. Afterall, we do take the SAME licensure exam as u.s.a med students. The island life is near to a 3rd world country style. Living without luxuries is going to be a must. Adaptability will be tested. And thats my two cents! " More from this Member | Report Response

Then I watched a tape for 10 minutes. Nothing new there if you've done your research. The interview itself was short. She basically asked me questions off a sheet and jotted down my response. She didn't ask me follow-up questions to any of my responses. Then I was given a chance to ask questions. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I had an unusual experience than most applicants at Ross. I went to medical school in the united states but was kicked out for failing too many classes, so I applied at Ross. The interview was pretty good, basic questions but it did not seem "low-stress" or a "walk in the park" as others on here have claimed. The interviewer did try to sell their school, but at the same time it did not seem that they would just take me. I had to really prove that I wanted to be a doctor and that I could pass classes at Ross since I had been kicked out once before. Unlike most people I was a bit stressed and nervous and felt like I rambled a bit too much. While she was very friendly, there was nothing in her demeanor that said "you're in" or anything like that. Ross, believe it or not, does have standards, and they are trying to revamp their school's image and reputation." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was promptly picked up from MIA by the hotel shuttle. The hotel was much nicer than I had anticipated, and the room was great. I was one of the first interviewees to arrive, and so we made small talk until the rest (8 total) showed up. The two interviewers introduced themselves, and then chose two candidates to speak with one-on-one. The rest of us went into a large office room to watch a Ross video, which was the same video that one gets during an information seminar. After the video, I got up and stopped the DVD as I didn't think anyone else wished to watch it ad nauseam. There was a book on Dominica as well as a small photo book of campus life, and the rest of chatted lightly until one of the interviewers came in to speak with us. The interview was open file, in a small room, with just the interviewer and interviewee. Nearly all of the questions were ones I'd prepared for (thanks to this forum). There are questions about specific things in one's application. The interviewer was very friendly, but (I think) intentionally avoided all eye contact after he had asked me a question, busying himself with leafing through my application. I was not prepared for this, and it added a sort of akwardness to the experience until I got the hang of it. Afterwards, I returned to the room with the others where a 5th semester student was answering questions. He was very friendly, approachable, and sought to sugarcoat nothing regarding the competitiveness present in the school and the huge percentage of matriculants that actually make it to Miami (45% or so). We took a brief tour of the hospital located across the street. It was small, but not unreasonably so. We finished with a lunch in the hospital cafeteria where all the applicants and some of the administration joined us. Overall, a very good experience. Ross is a serious school, and does fairly well with presenting the negatives and unique challenges that a student will face. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was great. However! Unlike all the comments I've read regarding the interview and such easy questions asked...I unfortunately had very difficult questions (case scenarios!) and a very long interview! Nonetheless, I was able to go through it and my interviewer was open-minded to my thoughts, as if he wanted to know more about my experiences and opinions. Go in there answering with your own thoughts, don't have preconceptions of someone eles'e thoughts or a memorized list of answers. Be yourself, be honest, be relaxed, and you'll do perfectly fine. All in all, being my very first medical school interview, I had a great experience and feel like I can take on more medical school interviews~" More from this Member | Report Response

"Again, very basic here. I got there quite early, and sat out in the lobby. Since the candidate before me was watching a movie on the school, the interviewer sat out in the lobby with me and made casual conversation. This only made things that much easier and laid back. The candidate after also showed up during this time and we then went in and watched the movie together after the first candidate left.
