I'm becoming a nervous wreck lol... I just read all 100+ pages from last year's "Calling all Consortium" discussion... even though the Draft takes place this week, calls can begin as early as this week to as late as end of March... I'm super glued to my phone waiting to see if Cornell, NYU, or Emory will come through for me. I can't see myself turning down the Consortium fellowship from any of them... 100k+ is 100k+ :/

Same Here, the wait is killing me!!!! But Good luck to everyone! Hopefully we'll all have good news later this week!

Yeah at this point I don't have any energy left to analyze being waitlisted. It's better than a decline which would have sucked. I just would like to know a definite answet because I have a potential job offer in the mix. I really want school, so an acceptance would make the decision easier to make.

Yeah :/ Not even sure what to expect from a Waitlist situation, hopefully a better option comes through. It seems like all WL's just get pushed into the next round to help round out the class no?

HowDidIGetHere
So I finally got access to my account. I'm on the Waitlist at McCombs too. Lol. Sheesh. It seems a whole bunch of us are.

I'm going on vacation in 2 days. So I'm hoping when I return next week that I will have better news from UNC.

If it's a promotion offer, tell McCombs. That can move you up the wait list.

What do you mean if its a promotion they can move me up the list?

It's a new job with a new company, but a senior manager upgrade. The opp is pretty amazing but not as amazing as an MBA. Lol.

Maybe I'd feel more lucky if I had applied to more schools. It's these two or bust. Thankfully my top choice is still up for grabs. And a Waitlist isn't no. **prays to the pagan grad gods**

Just like retaking the GMAT and getting a higher score can improve your application, a new job improves your resume. I would call the adcom and see what they tell you.

Good point. I should know an answer about the job in the next week or so. I'm hoping it takes them a while so I will know about UNC beforehand.

I don't really want to start a new job if accepted to school. It seems kind of wrong and misleading. But at same time I can't keep life on hold as I wait. Thankfully I will know soon! And if I can use it to show my growth, It can't hurt.

I'm also on the McCombs waitlist, and the message when I log in says not to present additional information to the adcom before it is requested. I don't know how much they really care about that (that is, waiting until they ask you for it), but I agree that the job offer will bolster your application.

do you know if we should expect the call from the school or the consortium? I already got acceptance email from the school and they said I will hear from consortium by march 19. I am confused who will call about the fellowship?
