https://kelley.iu.edu/mba/images/consortiumLogo.gif Note: Application for Fall 2011 is now live! Q: What is the Consortium? 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. In conjunction with our member schools, sponsoring companies, and our elite group of MBA students and alumni, The Consortium has built a forty year legacy of fostering inclusion and changing the ethnic and cultural face of American business. Q: How does the application process for the Consortium differ from a regular school application? A: Common Application - One application allows you to apply to up to six Consortium schools. (University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill requires that all applicants submit both The Consortium application and the UNC application) Tiered Application Fee - Using The Consortium common application significantly reduces your application fee costs. You may apply to up to two member schools for $150, three schools for $200, four schools for $240, five for $275, and six for $300 (source: Official Consortium website ) Essays - There are 2 common essays as part of the Consortium application. Additionally, each member school you are applying to requires at least 1 separate, school specific essay. Interviews - There is 1 common Consortium interview that you must schedule with either a Consortium Alum or a representative at a Consortium School. Note that the interview does not necessarily have to take place at a school you are applying to. Afterward, individual schools may or may not require an additional school specific interview. Q: Can I apply even if I am not an under-represented minority? A: The Consortium seeks applicants who align themselves with its mission . Being a minority is not a prerequisite as long as the applicant has demonstrated a commitment to the Consortium's mission in his or her life.

Congratulations to all the admits this weekend! This is such good news :-D

How do waitlists work for the Consortium? Are you waitlisted to the regular applicant pool, or waitlisted for that school's Consortium fellowship list?

People get fellowships before most are notified about whether or not they are accepted from wait lists

yeah, pretty much if you are waitlisted you have zero chance of fellowship. Applicants are waitlisted to the general pool not a consortium pool.

So what happens at the March 01st meeting if a school had a list of 10 candidates they want to give fellowships to but the school can only get 3 of them. Perhaps the other 7 candidates ranked other schools higher, so other schools get first dibs and grab those 7. Does the school use its waitlist then to still offer 10 fellowships? Or do they just take 3 consortium fellows that year?

Were all McCombs admission decisions released this past Friday? Or will they be calling more people on Monday since that's technically at the end of the month?

My guess, and it's purely a guess, is that they would take three. Let's say a school accepts 20 applicants and only plans to give out 5 fellowships. I'm sure they take a list of 10 students (just an arbitrary number) and will offer fellowships to the first 5. If one is taken then they make their way down the list and if they only give out four then they just give out four.

The waitlist and the fellowship list are two different things.

I heard a rumor that a "big" one (not in size) may be releasing decisions this week after the meeting on the 1st. I'm not going to get everyone worked up so I won't say until I investigate further lmao.

Nyny, I interviewed with UCLA on 2/18 after receiving an invite on 2/9. However, they did confirm that they won't be releasing decisions until 3/30.

Wow, I didn't apply to ucla but I'm annoyed by that....if they meet on 3/1 and make a commitment to Consortium staff, saying we're giving students A, B and C the fellowship, what purpose does it serve to not tell them for 4 weeks... Imho it's just mean!
