Does anybody know what one must do in order to get invited to this part of OP or how to "sign up" for the IB Track?

On the registration it asks if you would be interested in attending a day early the IB track stuff. I wasn't interested so I said no maybe someone else can chime in. Posted from my mobile device

Just an FYI for future applicants, schools DO NOT know where you ranked them prior to reviewing your application. I had seen both assertions floating around about whether some schools take your ranking of them into consideration regarding admission. But looking at my Consortium letter from Yale, they very clearly state that they decide on admittance prior to knowing any information about Consortium ranking. Some of you know this already but I remember being concerned about this during my application process so figured I'd post it here for future applicants to frantically google search.

In at NYU Stern - just received an email this afternoon (4:25pm ET), but no merit scholarship awarded. If I received a Consortium fellowship for Darden, how likely is it that NYU would consider a counter-offer and offer me money to entice me to enroll? I thought NYU was great, but it's pretty much impossible to turn down a free ride at Darden if the other option isn't offering me a funding. Thoughts? If you think they'd negotiate, how would you approach?

It's extremely unlikely that they will change their offer but not impossible. It's worth a shot to ask. Darden is a great program though, so you're in good shape either way.

If you were offered fellowship but decide to go to another consortium school, would you still be a member with benefits of the consortium?

Yes, you'd be a member not a fellow obviously, but the benefits are the same (less the "fellow" title) Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

I believe so. The membership is decided by the Consortium and is contingent upon admission to at least one member school, if I'm not mistaken. You could call them to confirm but I think you're good as long as you attend a Consortium school.

For those still waiting to hear back from NYU Stern without an interview invite, check the application portal. I got an email today informing me my application status had changed. I applied 1/5 and was denied 3/22. Just a heads up.
