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.

I would have to imagine though that if there is this much collaboration around admits at this meeting (my theory), then hope should not be lost. Just like in last years threads, a ton of people had given up only to get admitted to a lower ranked school in the end. Not many had to truly re-apply. Maybe they work together to get as many students admitted as possible.

The GMAT 80% range for admitted Consortium students goes from 570 - 710 (640 avg). Anybody who knows a bit about statistics knows that a significant # of admitted students did not have "Stellar" GMAT scores. No news doesn't necessarily mean bad news IMO.

Honestly, I don't think many people in this forum applied to Olin. I think you were the first person to bring up Olin in this thread. Good luck though. You should definitely go if you plan on enrolling.

Got the acceptance in January to Olin. I applied to 4 consortium schools with Olin ranked #2. I have admit to #3, and a ding from #4. I have interviewed with #1 and nervously waiting for the decision before I decide on any of the offers. Meanwhile, I have a full ride to another consortium member school, KFB, which I applied separately. But #1 school will trump the others if I am given the nod.

I ranked Olin #5, I have interviewed at my #1, #3 and #4. I am not sure if I will get an offer from them, so far Saint Louis seems like a life saver.

Got you! So far I have not heard from Olin about the fellowship offer so I guess probably my #1 looks good. Time will tell!

To everyone on this forum:
Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I've had a great time exchanging ideas, thoughts, and jokes with you guys as you have kept me sane and entertained. I truly hope that everyone gets into their dream school, and not only receive the FS, but get some extra spending cash as well, so you can all laugh about this one day. I've never had more fun communicating with strangers, and moreover, strangers that I may never meet, but this forum has given me a new perspective on B-school as well as life and dreams. Godspeed to all!

Forumaddict,

I don't know about you, but I expect to party will some of you guys, during the consortium mandatory 4 day meeting.

This process is extremely difficult, but forums like this one make it easier to handle. I hope we all start getting those calls soon. Best of look to everyone else.
