^^ I got my fellowship offer from Indiana-Kelley on Thursday! I'm obviously excited about that, and I'll be headed there next year.

Good luck to you, hope you hear soon. You're already ahead of me, lol, I got a ding last month.

i believe some schools will require you to do an additional interview with them, separate from the general consortium interview.

dont know what MAPS is

just a quick update - i had my consortium general interview today with an alum in the area. she was very nice, and the interview was fairly straightforward (basically just went down my resume, and some simple "why mba" questions). all in all, a little over half an hour. the best part is she gave me some feedback on my resume and my interview, and was willing to help me out with anything further in the future. all in all i think it went well, and now i have to finish up the consortium essays in time for the R1 deadline (nov 15)

to schedule alumni interviews, did you throw dates out that you were available or just send a request asking for them to let you know their availability? would it be tacky to state that i am most easily available on the weekends and evenings? do most alumni interviewers try to do their interviews during non-work hours?

i told my interviewer i could be flexible with the schedule. she responded giving me a date in the evening. i would guess in your initial email you could mention that after work hours would be best for you, and then let him/her pick a time. i'd stay away from weekends personally as that's generally reserved for 'me' time (at least in my eyes).
