IN AT STERN! Interviewed during the diversity weekend (last weekend). Got the e-mail today at 5:05, but when I noticed that people were getting e-mails, i logged in to my check my status (around 4:30) and it had already been updated.

Also, at 6:20, I got a call from admissions about the admit AND the FELLOWSHIP!

I am sooooooo pumped! Go Class of 2013. I CAN NOT WAIT TO START!

Other stats, I applied R1 and NYU was the only consortium school I applied to.

Is Cornell still making calls for fellowships or it game over? I want to cry... In all honesty this consortium apps thing is messed up. If school number 2 realizes that you didn't rank them 1st, then they dont give you the FS?

this sucks? I have to think of a strategy plan right now....

Chireapplicant, I got the
fellowship from Cornell but ranked them second, so it's not necessarily true that if you rank a school
second you won't get a fellowship.

Just got word. I'm giving myself the fellowship to anywhere I want to go. I used my home phone and called my cell phone. It was a very pleasant conversation. Unfortunately for the rest of you, I am the only receiving this fellowship. I feel honored.

ha ha ha ha...that's hilarious. No, but I should. Actually, it would be funny if I say I'm from Cornell. Okay, not funny. Downright mean. But, still, prank calling is fun. I may even send fake letters.

Lagomez,

When i got my first call i though it was a prank call from one of my friends, but then i remember that i didn't tell them which consortium schools i applied to. ;-)

I called my pager first but didn't return the call. Why don't schools ask for pager numbers?

Not true. I would respond why I disagree but I need to program my VCR and it's taking a long time.

So what's the deal for all the admits or WL + admit laters without Consortium Fellowships?

Assuming a hypothetical situation of zero assets and zero savings, does the school offer financial aid up to or comparable to what you'd get with Consortium Fellowship or will you end up significantly in debt? What is the average range of money one can get outside of the Consortium?

For example, I've heard that HBS's financial aid to students includes a MINIMUM of $80 000 in loans.....
