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.

Did you interview at NYU? If so, how long ago?

I'm expecting my ding email to come from there any day now too

. The wait without hearing a thing just seems way too long to be positive.

I heard about a MLT happy hour in NY this Wednesday at Slate. May not want to do this happy hour on the same day so that all can attend..OR have it at Slate that day too (it's not restricted to MLT'ers)?
Please ask your MLT friends to clarify. If I'm wrong about that happy hour being this Wed, I'll let everyone know.

Hello All & Congrats to everyone on their Admits, and all the best to those still waiting!! I am about to start this process for entry in 2012.. Question for you all.. Where can I find the school specific essays for consortium schools? the only one I have been able to find in advance is Ross. I know the essays may change by next year, but is there a list of the school specific essays available? (Particularly Darden, McCombs, Emory and UNC). Thanks!!

Not sure if CGSM posts the essay questions externally, but as far as I know, you have to log-in to the application site in order to read the school specific essays

Hey everyone,

Long time lurker but first time poster. Since there seems to be a lot of people waiting around to hear from NYU, wanted to let you know that I finally heard from them today and received an invite - so it's definitely not auto ding time yet. (R2 Consortium - #1 Yale (in), #2 Haas (WL w/ interview) #3 NYU)

I'm trying but this is crazy. I think I've aged at least 5 years in these past couple of weeks. Too bad I can't add those years on my application because I think maybe my age/experience might be the issue I'm having lol.

Oh well, I suppose we all will know for sure whether we got into a Consortium school or not when they send out the membership/fellowship mail in a few days. Because you can't be a member without getting into one of the schools, right?
