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.

Wanted to update for roll call: In at Ross

Just received an interview invite from NYU on Monday.... not sure if I'm going to take it yet.

go for it... never know what may happen.

Def agree

You should definitely go for it... even if you only want to go to Ross, they may negotiate your scholarship package if get money from NYU. You've already put the hard work in, so go for the interview. It may surprise you.

Oh man - just got into Kellogg! Real happy, but now this def complicates my Consortium decision. UVA is an awesome school I like and is offering the fellowship and Consortium membership witha bunch of awesome people but I also really like Northwestern (they haven't said anything about $$) and it's def higher in the rankings. Gonna be a tough choice. Wharton may come along and complicate things even further next Thursday

I'm a FS recipient at Darden. You're crazier than Charlie Sheen if you decide to pay to go to Wharton.

Not a good comparison. Charlie Sheen's a very sane man.

Guys, I have a question for you....

So I was accepted in Dartmouth (Tuck) with the consoritum fellowship.
Ross (I have not heard anything on the money fron)
Chicago (Booth) - I was accepted with $15k per year

This is a tough call but wanted to hear your thoughts.

I want to focus on financing for small businesses in third world countries i.e. microfinance.

I know all three schools are great with unique characteristics that I appreciate:

Ross - I think MAPS would be an amazing experience, especially with real life exposure to businesses in economically challenged regions.

TUCK - The small class size and the unparallel alumni network. Additionally, the program's focus on general management is solid preparation for any business leader.

Booth - Flexible curriculum and the city of Chicago. I really like the city and I felt that I was a great fit at the school.

I am in the process of evaluating my decision and any insght will help.

I have two friends who used their consortium FS to negotiate more money from Booth. You may want to try that. They both wanted to do IB and booth is a much better school for that. I believe for what you want to do, either school can work.

As the previous poster said I would negotiate with Booth. Have you visited Tuck? You mention you really like Chicago and Hanover and Chicago are worlds apart, a bit of an exaggeration of course. You really can't go wrong with any of the schools. Microfinance isn't exactly a high paying profession so you have to consider how you plan on financing your school. Do you need loans? If so, will you be able to afford loan payments on a your salary after an MBA? Can you afford to pay for school without loans? If so, go for fit.

UCLA admissions decisions went out early this morning.

I was waitlisted, so could be another up to 3 months of waiting for me. FML, seriously. But I'll wait another 3 months for an admit and possible fellowship if thats what it takes.
