as Ross reader (who would be not able to see the applicant’s GPA and SAT score) spends 30 minute to review the non-quantitive portion of each application (personal statement 650 words, community essay 300 words, why umich 500 words, Ross business case 500 words, ross artifact 250 words, activities) - each item is rated from 1-5, 5 best. then assigned the average rating, at least two readers to evaluate, if two reader’s rating difference is greater than one standard deviation (that was computed from the historical data), then the case elevates to administrative evaluation (which is evaluated by Ross admission office and faculties) – after the central admission office concludes the admission results, the admitted UMich student profile will be reviewed with what was done from non-quantitive evaluation-- the committe to make the decision (that is from 1/26/2024 Umich decision date to 2/9/2024 first batch Ross admission notification) – (that was from the interview of Ross admission director) – this case’s essay writing must be high quality… per Ross admission director’s interview, the reader who is not allowed to see the applicant’s GPA and SAT score is to minimize the bias in evaluating essays and activities. that is why you would see many excellent STATs (GPA, SAT) not able to land on Ross admission, but okay Stats (GPA, SAT) landed Ross admission.
