A: The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management is the country’s preeminent organization for promoting diversity and inclusion in American business. Through an annual competition, The Consortium awards merit-based, full-tuition fellowships to America’s best and brightest candidates.

Has Anyone heard back from USC yet? I know they were doing consortium interviews last week and this week (I had a Skype interview on Friday), but they also sent an email saying that they would release all consortium decisions by mid-February, so just wondering if anyone has heard. If yes, please let us know what day you interviewed!!

It looks like non-Consortium McCombs applicants from round two (also with a 2/15 response date) started receiving acceptance emails from adcom tonight. Has anyone who applied through the Consortium received anything?

Only interviewed, no decision yet.

My Marshall interview was on Friday as well. I may be wrong, but I don't think they will start releasing decisions until after all the interviews have taken place. My interviewer gave me the impression that it would probably be towards the end of next week that I could expect to hear back. Has anyone who applied to Haas for R2 received anything besides just a notification email?

Anyone still waiting to receive confirmation from Stern? A few pages back, it was mentioned that that there was a delay in getting some of the Consortium apps to a number schools. Ross was one of them. I'm wondering if Stern is another since I've yet to receive confirmation from them and my application was supposed to have been forwarded on January 17.

Same here. The previous email to book interviews said to schedule by Feb 12th (today) so I hope Consortium admissions to McCombs will start coming out tomorrow.

Have you received an interview from Yale? I emailed them and they said that interviews for Consortium applicants will continue to be sent until the deadline at the end of February....geez. fingers crossed. Still hoping for the email to come in soon. A

Anyone have an idea when the draft is (early March?)?

Based on last year's thread draft decisions came around March 15th, but a few people seemed to have heard earlier. I'm going to be out of the country! I pulled this list from last year's thread. It isn't complete, but I think gives a sense of what to expect.: Status: only FOUR holdouts!
