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.

Hey so I just want to make sure the message is not lost and we are all on the same page:

NY Happy Hour will be at Slate tomorrow, 3/16 @ 6:30 pm.

(I'd hate for half of us to be at Slate, half of us at Iguana's)

Dear School _____,

I have completed my review of your acceptance to _______ program. After careful consideration, I am unable to grace your school with my presence.

While the I recognize the high aspirations and unique qualities of your school, I am in the difficult position of being able to matriculate to only one of the many schools who accepted me to their program. My decision is based on a holistic process in which I have evaluated each school's profile, faculty achievements, and characteristics.

I appreciate your interest in me and regret that I am unable to take a seat in your class. I wish you all the best in evaluating other candidates

Sincerely,

(Insert Name)

Have all Darden admit calls gone out? I called today and they said decisions will be released on the 24th. Just wondering if they're going out in waves...

Hey guys,

What is the address for Slate, there are a few restaurant and places with that name. I have never been there, please post the address.

Thanks....

Do you all think we will get the letter tomorrow? since they are sent via regular mail I feel some of us will not get them.

i figured they would be sent out tomorrow so then we'll all get them at different times... but if someone got a fellowship to a school they can conclude that they were also admitted to consortium.
