Fewer consortium peeps. Plus everyone I know, submitted Saturday. Very few of us round 1

I don't know what is going on. I called today and found out my rec met the deadline so I am excited. I did Michigan, UVA, Cornell and UNC. I'm hoping it works out! I wonder if they will maintain the number of fellowships despite a reduced applicant pool. Its not just the consortium. Here are some interesting articles on the sharp reduction in MBA applications. https://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000087 ... 32518.html https://www.businessweek.com/articles/20 ... on-drought https://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/ ... -and-booth My philosophy on buying education is the same as anything else. Go when demand is low and pay a reduced price (scholarship $$$).

Did anyone else receive an update email from Berkeley recently? We were excited to receive your Consortium application to the Berkeley MBA program.

Has anyone heard from any schools yet??

Did anyone else have issues with the Consortium receiving test scores? They only accept paper GRE and have not received mine yet (though it was sent on the 26th and received in my own mailbox). They are holding my application until they get it, and won't verify my scores via phone. I'm super anxious this is going to push my application out too far, even though I ordered new scores as soon as I knew. Any advice? I am really bummed they don't accept online scores, they would be reported immediately! Good luck to all of you!
