When did you get this? I have not received anything yet, except for the harmless but annoying e-mail blast reminding me to apply round 2 early and a "common mistake checklist" . I had to double check with them that they had my application for RD1.

October 28th. I wonder if I should email them about it, or just wait until next week? I just want to feverishly check the application status page like everyone else lol

I was wondering the same. The only correspondence that I rec'd was the interview invite. I created an online login but it is not connected to my CGSM app and therefore remains blank. Should we call? 1, 2, 3 not it.

Ok fine!! I'm not going to call, but I'll email. ACKKKKK

Hi all, Best of luck to those of you who have already applied. I am in the process of applying for R2, and I had 2 questions I'm hoping some of you who are further along in the process can help with. 1. Rankings impact on admission - Is there a definitive list of Consortium schools that do vs. do not consider how candidates rank them in their admission criteria? For example, I've heard that to put Haas as #2 in your rankings is to punch a ticket to dingsville. I'm guessing that's not 100% true, but there has to be some truth to schools protecting their yields. 2. Recommendations - The space for recommendation letters is really limited at 1000 characters per question. Did any of you explicitly request that your recommenders provide a "general" letter in addition to just responding to the prompts? It seems like Consortium recommendations give recommenders less opportunity to speak to specific examples of your strengths, etc. Thanks!

Quick question to my Go Blue hopeful brethren, So I received the blast e-mail yesterday, and then the "mea culpa" today. However there was one HUGE difference between the two...on the bottom of the e-mail is has a survey for me to fill out asking for me to verify my address and phone number...can I get a verification from others? I don't want to read too into the survey, or my power level won't be easily contained lol
