Application Requirements
Applicants must have the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution by the time of application. Candidates can submit standardized test scores (GMAT, GRE, MCAT, LSAT, PCAT, or DAT) or a Statement of Academic Readiness to potentially waive the test requirement. Students who are currently enrolled at the University of Michigan Medical, Law, Pharmacy, or Dental do not need to submit a test score. Non-native English speakers must demonstrate proficiency with the language. This may be done with a new or expired TOEFL, PTE or IELTS score; proof of working in an English-speaking environment at least one year over the last three years; transcripts from an academic institution where the primary teaching language was English. All applicants must submit a current resume, responses to essay questions, one recommendation submitted through the GMAC Common Recommendation Form, and the non-refundable $250 application fee (waivers available). Unofficial copies of transcripts and test scores can be submitted with the application, and official copies will be required upon acceptance. 
Fee waivers are offered for active members and veterans of the U.S Military, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, or Teach for America volunteers who have served within the past five years; currently enrolled students in a University of Michigan graduate degree program; citizens of a country on the UN’s list of least-developed countries; and students who applied to the Ross full-time MBA within the past five years.
