I'm somewhat confused on the review process - Do adcoms treat these applications differently than the general pool? Do adcoms read the core consortium essays (in addition to the school core essays) as part of its review process? Should I go to the traditional application route? For example, my consortium mission essay is not that strong, albeit some experience. The mission of The Consortium is to enhance diversity in business education and leadership by helping to reduce the serious under representation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans in both our member schools' enrollments and the ranks of management. What have you done in your business, academic or personal life to demonstrate commitment to this mission? Please provide specific example of your involvement, actions and results.

I really can't take this.

I want my Ross interview invite... I'd be beyond pissed if I didn't get that.
I want to do my interview on campus which is unlikely with only a week left. smh.

And I haven't received an invite from McCombs.

I'd rather you just dump me early instead of making me feel like I have a chance :lol:

(Still talking about business school... lol )

Don't worry about getting an invite from McCombs. They're not doing interviews for Consortium applicants. All you need to worry about is making sure you got your log-in information for the app.

I feel ya on the anxiety of having to wait. Even though there's tons of benefits of applying through the Consortium, the whole process is a lot less transparent than applying through regular means

Pah. I know what you mean. I haven't heard a peep from USC and I certainly don't like getting teased by schools with promises of log-in info, only to never get anything (Yale and WashU I'm looking at you!). Only a week or so of waiting left. Hang in there everyone!

Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure that McCombs doesn't require an interview outside of the Consortium one. Other schools such as Yale SOM do the same. Can anyone else confirm this about McCombs?

That is correct - they use your Consortium interview for all admission decisions.

Yes, that is the entire point of the Consortium interview: an omnibus interview that MOST of the Consortium member schools accept as their own, regardless of what school gave it.

yup, and try to RELAX!!!! you're going to give yourself an ulcer -if you don't already have one

i'm trying to remain calm until feb 26th. if i don't get any answers then, i may lose it. :shocked

(lol. i'm sorry! i'm having too much fun w/ the emoticons)

when i was studying for the gmat, i almost lost my mind. i was so stressed and anxious. i started working out every other day and it def'ly helped. do you have a way to burn off all that extra energy? if you have a lot of free time on your hands, maybe you can use the time to apply for scholarships, prep your taxes for the fafsa app, etc. just a thought...

As for this Feb. 26th date that every seems to be mentioning, it was my understanding that that is the date the schools need to notify the Consortium about their decision, not us. I thought we would hear from the schools on or around the dates they notify their entire admissions pool. Am I wrong??

Mine works and I am able to log on, but then it just says that there is an error and there is no application associated with my email address. Zippy10, what does yours look like when you log on?
