I am in my last two classes at Ross and will finally walk April 27th. I am an Evening MBA student, but this advice would be no different for a full time applicant.
If she hasn't worked for at least three years, I highly recommend she gets some job experience first. The big question in interviews is why Ross? And why do you want an MBA? Without work experience and a decent GMAT score, she likely won't even get an interview.
In summary, applying to Ross is similar to applying for a job. Get your resume in order and have a story to tell (why you are capable, why you want to be there, and why you think you are a personality fit for Ross). As you can see from the other posts, the school is big on teamwork and "action based learning". I recommend she researches the school including classes and clubs that pertain to her areas of professional interest.
As you can see from the length of this reply, I have senioritis and Spring fever bad right now. Best of luck!
