It's time to start the new thread for Consortium applicants applying this year. Who is out there: SHOW yourself!! The other schools are catching up. If there are any reapplicants or current students, I'd love to know the last year's application experience!

On this link, it says: "What about deciding to attend a non-Consortium school even after getting the fellowship? You are able to be a member of the Consortium (and receive the great access and benefits of membership) even if you opt to attend a non-member school. The money you were awarded is returned to the pool, but does not transfer to another applicant." I have not hear this before. So, if we go to a non-member school, but get membership, we can still go to OP?

Thanks!! I’m excited to hopefully get the fellowship and meet all of you folks!! Posted from my mobile device

Correct! You just don’t get any money! But you can attend OP and gain the network of the Consortium! Hopefully you get money at the school you decide to go to... Posted from my mobile device

Actually, the statement above is partially incorrect. Once you are accepted into the Consortium and have paid your deposits, you are required to sign an agreement with the Consortium stating if you do not enroll in a member school that you will be billed for the costs of OP ((approximately $1300) you provide the Consortium before OP with a credit card to cover any overages on your travel (air) or hotel)). So while you could accept a non-member school and pay dual deposits (non-member and member) and then attend a non-member, but you would also be paying $1300 to attend OP and then have to notify companies you interview or come into contact with that you changed schools.

Thanks for clarifying!! This is really helpful to know. I’ll contact the sites owner as well to update their site with more detail. I’m really glad someone is working to aggregate all of this disspirate info in one place. GMAT Club for the win!! Posted from my mobile device

Thanks all! The site has been updated. Please send any other feedback you may have my way!

!!!!! Congrats. Any news of Fellowship? Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

No, the person I spoke with said that info will be released in the coming week. I'm not too worried either way as I'm being sponsored by my military branch.
