Nevermind just answered my own question-consortium membership no fellowship. OK

I’m a little confused on the whole Consortium fellowship process: From previous comments, it sounds like the “draft” or consortium funds dispersion has already occurred. However, of the five Consortium schools I applied to (got dinged by three in late Feb/early March) my top choice has not yet released decisions. I only got my first admit (McDonough) yesterday, but they were ranked last so I didn’t really expect a fellowship there anyway. But if all Consortium funds have already been dispersed, does that mean I’m out on Consortium fellowship either way? Or an augur of CMU Tepper decision? Or is there still hope?

Log into your cgsm account and see if you have a decision letter. Posted from my mobile device

Wow.. that was fairly obvious, yet it was the last thing I thought to do. Thanks ceecee! Well, it looks like no fellowship for me.. I hope this doesn’t have any reflection on my admit decision at CMU Tepper. The letter is dated the same day that I found out my admit decision from Georgetown. Glad to have gotten an admit, but leaving hope that my #1 choice still comes through.

Darden Fellow. Notifications are up online. Ranked 1. Tuck, 2. Yale, 3. Darden.

So it doesn't say anything on my consortium app...still just says submitted. Would denied folks have a letter up saying something too or do we just get nothing? Posted from my mobile device

If you aren't first admitted to a Consortium affiliated school, you likely won't have any updates. If you are admitted, then the Consortium will consider you for membership. After membership is granted, schools are allowed to offer fellowships at the draft. The order of these operations is certainly not clear, but it seems that many of these decisions were made in past weeks since that's when the draft was. Perhaps a few schools just don't want to release those already made decisions until their deadline.

Oh and my status is updated also that I am granted membership but no fellowship. Better than nothing!

Did anyone else have their Consortium Fellowship offer letter say "...welcoming you to the MBA class of 2015"? And "2013-2104 Academic Year" 2015?? I want to know if I need to contact them ASAP!
