Hello All! Long time lurker here. I got an invite to interview at NYU during their Stern Perspectives event yesterday! Submitted my app on 1/4 Forwarded to schools on 1/16 Confirmation of receipt from Stern 1/18 Interview invite 1/22 Interview Event 2/22-23 I got my log-in info from Johnson. Still haven't heard from Darden, USC, or UCLA.

I did not attend any of these school events. i hope this will not affect my admission chances. Just heard from Tepper last night. Seems like they don't do interview on phone or skype. They do interview only on the campus. That sucks!

Submitted 1/4. Just received personal confirmation UC Berk has my app and will review....the waiting game lol.

Submitted 1/5 and just got word from McCombs that my app was received. They also noted that they are still receiving apps for everyone stressing out from the radio silence.

Congrats on the interview invite! Do you mind telling us where you ranked Stern? I heard they were sensitive about that.

Has anyone heard from Ross Rd. 2?

Hi all -- new to the boards, but figured I'd join since I've found this discussion very helpful ... appreciate everyone's insights My Consortium Experience to Date : After submitting my Consortium application in early December, my apps were released earlier this month (I believe it was 01/14). Definitely was a ball of nerves up to this point. Later that week, I received application acknowledgement notices from Stern and Tepper (the only two so far -- still waiting to hear from 2 others), then got interview invites from both schools within 3 business days. I did have Stern and Tepper ranked 1 and 2, so I am wondering if that was a factor... Some additional background: I did quite a bit of research and outreach (chats with current/former students, campus visits, school events, etc.) for both of these schools in particular prior to submitting my application.

Yes, got a confirmation that they'd received it on Jan 18. Nothing else. Crickets from Anderson & Marshall.

I finally got notification from Texas that they have received my application, but I haven't heard anything from Ross, Tuck, Haas, or Tepper. Posted from my mobile device
