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.

So, are we at that point in the process where the dust has settled for most people and so there is little activity on the board?

Naw, there are a few more consort R2 decisions coming up in the next 2 weeks.

A lot of folks are still mourning over their Ross decisions, but will be back in the fight next week.

Random, but I heard that Trey Songz performed at Target's reception last year during OP. I thought that was funny (if true) :-)

Wonder who will perform this year....

Hopefully it's Prince - he's from Minneapolis! Of course, I would have to challenge him to a game of hoops with my good pal Charlie Murphy

Hmmm I think those things went the way of the VHS unfortunately. Seems like the new thing is to put up a YouTube compilation of trick shots.

I can kick a soccer ball and hit my Consortium application that's 20 feet away

I can put my Consortium application in a hoop and throw a basketball from one end to the other and hit my application

I'm too new to post links to youtube "Guy Dupuy - first dunk in history with tricky jump above the car"

He caught an alley oop, went between the legs, OVER A CAR, then boofed it. nuts.

Its actually quite the opposite for me. Thought I had the fellowship in the bag at my #1 (which was cocky to begin with considering my #1 is one of the most competitive in the CGSM AND I don't have eye-popping stats)

Now I'm waiting to hear what #2,#3,#4,#5 have to say in terms of $ (waiting on A/D/W and $ for some). Also, the only school I applied to outside of the Consortium is back in play considering I don't have the fellowship in the bag at this point.

Next three weeks will be big for all of us.
