Can anyone who was accepted to Anderson shed some light on how they were informed. UCLA is a little different when applying through Consortium. How did you check your application status. When I login, it just says application not submitted since I applied through Consortium. Thanks.

I used the same Username and password that I was given to schedule the interview. Mine was updated to say the application had been submitted and below that was a link that navigated to the decision page. If you are not seeing that, then you should prob. contact either the tech or admission team.

Dinged from McCombs with an interview but in at Wisconsin with full tuition and monthly stipend!!! I am feeling truly blessed. Congrats to everyone with admits and for those still waiting, stay positive.

Congrats on that! I'm starting to wish I would have applied to Madison, they're seriously hooking some people up!

Also, does anyone know if Anderson has released all 2012 Consortium admit decisions? It seems like some got their notifications yesterday. Just wondering if there are others still waiting.

I haven't received one for Tuck, but just received a similar type of email for Ross in order to prepare for Thursday's decision.

I received it on my phone while having lunch with my coworkers. When I saw the subject line, my heart started racing only for me to discover it wasn't the decision. Oh well.... I more week to go.

I actually had to contact technical support. The username and password I had established was not linked to the application that UCLA put my consortium information under. And UCLA never sent me any log-in credentials, so I emailed tech support and explained the deal and they hit me right back and sent me the log-in info that UCLA used to enter my application..... it was really annoying too because I had an admissions decision ready that I couldn't get to for about 2 hours.

Thanks Senator! I can believe how fast that was, I just interviewed on Monday![/quote]

You were a shoe-in. They just wanted to make sure your face would look good on the website. Enjoy it, you earned it.[/quote]

On a side note - hey Senator it's been a minute. The last I heard of you was the Tuck visit. I actually became worried not knowing what the situation was with you. I was going to notify the feds or police or something. Additionally, what ever happened to Tuck, your profile does not have all your schools no more. Please keep us posted. What's with your blog - no traction since February.

Cheers!

Hey question to the peeps around here. Anyone of you bringing cars to b-school?

I live in the Westcoast and might have to travel to the Midwest or the Northeast. Initially, I didn't want to have a car while at school, but it seems like I will be needing one. That's a freaking long drive if I elect to bring my car. Dunno if I should just sell it and buy a new one again when I finally move. Anybody on a similar situation?

Kawasaki,

It has been a minute. I removed my schools because I've made my final decision as to where I'm going to go, and you're right the blog hasn't had a lot of action until recently (updated yesterday). I'll update my profile soon... want to give everyone an opportunity to go thru the process just like I did.

I live in So Cal and this is something I been thinking about daily. If I end up at USC I don’t have to worry about it. But if I end up at Cornell, Indiana, or Texas it’s a tough call. I figure I could just get an apartment walking distance to school, but not having a car kind of scares me. Especially since I won’t know anybody I can bum rides off when I start b-school and I’ve used public transportation maybe 2 times my whole life. I figure it will cost about a G to ship my car out there and another G to get it back, and it just doesn’t make sense if I’m hardly ever going to drive. But I’m still making payments on my car and I’m not selling it so it would likely just be collecting dust (when my dad’s not joyriding in it) at my parent’s house during school.

Tough call, I’ve had a vehicle everyday of my life since I was 17; it’s like my safety blanket. haha

anyone heard about NYU? I still haven't gotten an interview, but I saw on the Stern threads that others are still getting them. I know one guy who also hasn't gotten one and we both have similar backgrounds, minus the consortium bit- he went to peace corp, I work for an international relief org, both worked for 5-6 years after school, we both had GPAs and GMAT that under the 80% range...at this point I am waiting for the ding, but he thinks we are probably part of the rounding out the class group. Not tryin to get my hopes up, but if anyone has insight I would love to hear it. and a buena suerte to all on the thread:)

I know. It's extremely tough not to have a car. I have a 2005 car so its not really worth a lot. I don't know if itll be wise to shell out a G to have it shipped.

I am thinking of driving it actually, but coming from LA I don't know if our cars are built for the midwest or the eastcoast winter. We'll need to change all the tires and whatnot. It's just going to cost a lot!

Did any Ross applicants read Soojin's blog post? She mentioned that calls will begin on Monday; however, she said that Consortium applicants will begin to receive calls on Wednesday. Does this mean that our admittance or ding is contingent on the Consortium meeting?

I mean, why admit you if a b-school you ranked higher than them offers you a Fellowship. If they're trying to protect their yield, make sense to me.

I'm not in your shoes, but I have lived in both Texas and Indiana, and did my UG in Dallas. I will tell you that I don't consider a car optional anymore in those parts of the country. I'm not saying you couldn't possibly function without it, but public transportation systems in Texas and midwest cities leaves a LOT to be desired compared to LA, NYC, and DC. I used to live in Dallas, and traveling from one end of the city to another could take 2 freaking hours just b/c of the complicated routes by bus & train. I lived off campus and had bus routes to school and work. That wasn't so bad. I believe it took me about a half hour to get from home to school and 30-45 min to get from school to work when the drives were 10 min by car respectively. I recently spoke to adCom at one school about real estate prices, etc, and was shocked to get the: "You're bringing a car to school question." They seemed to be surprised also that I was also planning to move my furniture. But I've been of the mind that even though I'm going back to school and will most definitely trim the fat in my living expenses, I still don't want to live like I did in UG and so will be keeping some amenities to which I've grown accustomed. "I hated being the struggling, broke college student."

My car is a 2001 but it's a great make and model. It made the drive from Dallas to Indiana with no problems. I debated the: "Do I buy a new car question?" for several months over this past year. Finally laid the matter to rest when I found a reliable, honest mechanic and found out that the one in Dallas has been doing their best to fleece me by charging me several hundred dollars for repairs that they never performed and doing other shady stuff (multiple times!). Now my car is running well on a shoestring maintenance budget compared to last yr's repair expenses, and I don't worry about it lasting me through grad school anymore (or me being able to drive it long distances) since I only have 145K miles on it, and it's designed to run 200-300K easily. So relieved I'm not picking up another car note or delving into my school savings stash to fund another car. However, not having a car here in the midwest NEVER crossed my mind.

**That being said, you might want to talk to current students at Kelley and McCombs to find out their thoughts on university and public transportation. I'm familiar with Dallas, and other small towns in the midwest, but am not sure about the options for public transport in Bloomington and Austin. But everyone I know in both Texas and Indiana have cars.

Hello All,

Consortium Round 2 applicant. Admitted to Yale and Marshall (Score!), WL'd at Goizueta, no news from Anderson. Anxiously awaiting Fellowship decisions. Good luck to everyone that has yet to hear from their desired programs!
