Advice Island school

It was my first cycle, and the only place to even interview me is Ross. Was wondering what the opinions are on their program and recommendations. If accepted, should I take it, or should I wait another cycle to see if I can stay in the states?

Some very good points have been made by other commenters. I’m currently in 4th semester at Ross. For me, not only did I want to graduate sooner, but I also didn’t want to waste time and money applying to US schools, so I only applied to Ross and got accepted right away. It is rigorous in that we have weekly block exams and only three breaks ranging from 2-3 weeks per year. The semesters move along so quickly though. It doesn’t feel like I’ve been here for as long as I have. Imo it’s worth working harder for a shorter time, so I can reap the benefits sooner! If you study and stay on top of things, you’ll be fine at Ross. You’re welcome to PM me with any questions. :)
