Any thoughts on how or if CGSM uses the self reported other non CSGM schools you are applying to?

No, they called me on the official notification deadline What round did you apply to Emory?

Has anyone received notice that the Consortium has released your application? I haven't heard anything yet...

Bamboo09, I called CGSM on Tuesday, and was told that they might get to my application by the end of the week. It seems like a long process to review and release the applications.

I got a message this morning that said my apps had been released. So slowww.

I hadn't heard anything yet either, so I emailed them two days ago to ask about the time frame for applications to be forwarded to school. I got this reply: "I’m working down my list of 215 applications and you are one of 132 applications submitted for my letter group on January 5. Please be patient as I work through all the applications before yours." So I would say they have a tall task of handling hundreds of applications turned in at the last minute. Let's be patient guys!

Oh ok. Good to know! I will just be patient and wait for my confirmation e-mail.

I got the email this morning! However, its strange because I already received an email from UNC regarding my application to log onto their portal. And I got an interview invite from Indiana already. So these schools must of received my application way earlier, right?

That does not necessarily mean that they have your application on file.
