Hey ya'll,
Anyone else heading to Darden through the Consortium? I ranked them second on my Consortium application and found out last week I received a 1/2 Darden School Foundation Consortium Scholarship.
Hope to see you at Darden day on Feb. 14th.
I didn't apply to Darden, but thanks for posting. I think this is the first we have heard of a school ranked #2 offering some sort of Consortium $$ before March. Interesting, and congrats!
So I believe what you got was a Consortium Scholarship, which is different from the Fellowship. I think Darden is looking at the rankings and seeing whether the fellowship will be taken from them by higher ranked schools. Also, I believe in your email it says that this scholarship may be replaced by a better Darden offer, so you could still get the fellowship to replace it. I received a similar email and call, and so did another guy I contacted here on GMATclub. I hope it helps.
