Did all of the Darden folks get their decisions today? I see the Darden thread noted decisions would be released by midnight. I logged into the system and saw a prompt to start my application (i.e. there is no record that I even bothered to apply).

LAGOMEZ- I applied to Toigo. Toigo's fellowship which has been whittled down to $2500 is relatively immaterial to the cost of an MBA. I would encourage you to apply for it if you seriously want to go into finance as Toigo generates results. Through a 3rd party organization, Toigo is trying to create an alumni and support network comparable to having gone to an ivy institution. Having spoken with Toigo fellows, the organization is very good about screening people who support the mission as well as constantly reminding alumni to stay engaged and reminding them that Toigo's success relies on alumni participation. You should think of Toigo as the best tool in your arsenal for procuring a high finance job.

Thanks for the info. $2500? Is that per year for two years? I think it will cost me that much just to spend time in New York interviewing. Do you know what percentage of applicants get something?

Apologies. Looking at various references to the fellowship online, it appears that it is for $5k/year (Toigo tries to downplay the financial benefit of the award). My understanding is that the benefit was reduced from a previous $10k/year because most recipients valued the benefit of access to potential future employers, networking and career development far more than the money.

Dinged at most of my Consortium Schools. Welp, it's been real, next time I know better than to rush my essays (it was one of those kind of weeks). Well, that is if there is a next time. Feeling good about MIT!

Finally UCLA came out with their decisions and I am accepted! It was my top choice, but their online acceptance letter made no mention of any scholarships, which I assume means I got none. :-(

Congrats! I know you wanted UCLA badly. Which school will you go with?

I think the Consortium page removed access to the application at the end of the application cycle (end of February). Is everyone in the midst of tough decisions or pumped about OP?

I'm not accepting the fellowship from one of the CGSM schools but will still be attending another CGSM school.

Am I considered a fellow or member? Putting together my resume now and wondering what the non-scholarship recipients are considered.

Anyone applying for a NSHMBA scholarship? I'm not too sure where to go with the app essays and how much I can recycle from my Consortium essays. Also if anyone has insight as to how selective the program is and what the breakdown is of $2500/$5000/$10000 awards that would be tremendous (hoping to find out more from their conference call tmrw, I'll report back anything of use)

@runi - I think I've made my tough decision to decline my fellowship and go to a non-consortium school (hence the need for a NSHMBA scholarship). Stinks to be footing such a large bill but I took a lot of things into account and I believe I'm making a good choice

Hi Everyone, I just got my Consortium Fellowship to Texas - anyone else UT Austin bound?

I should mention that I'm a half-cuban / half-white, female applicant ... and I was not expecting a Consortium fellowship, but I'm pretty excited. Also - anyone gotten any information yet about OP? I want to book my tickets to Minneapolis but I would like some confirmation first.

I am also half-Cuban and half white (Russian)!

Is that supposed to be funny? By negative implication, it sounds like you're assuming that all Cubans are black? For being half Cuban, you are 100% clueless as to your heritage. Spain colonized Cuba and if you've ever been there, they're 99% white sweetheart.
You're making the Consortium look bad. As O'reilly would say, "wise up".

Just as an FYI, hundreds of thousands of African slaves were introduced to Cuba during the 17th, 18th, and 19th century, like many caribbean islands, as a free labor tool to gain a foothold in the sugarcane industry.

So like most of us of Caribbean descent, its most likely that her linage, going back far enough, is made up of Taino indian and African blood.
