I felt like my Ross interview went pretty well because it felt like a conversation, though my interviewer did follow the typical MBA interview format (i.e. professional history, short/long-term goals, why MBA, why Ross/now, etc.). The only differences I found was that I was asked to sell my university to a college applicant and share anything else I’d like the adcom to know about me. Other than that, it was pretty straightforward.

Note:
I was waitlisted in R1 for my dream school. The university originally only required 1 recommendation in the application. I want to add a second recommendation to strengthen my application and hopefully get out of the waitlist. Do I just upload to the portal with company letterhead, or how do I certify the letter?
