Still waiting:
Tepper and Tuck

Fellowship:
Got call at 1:30pm with the news...

Ranked:
Yale
USC
Cornell
Tuck
NYU
Tepper

Have not heard anything from Yale regarding outside scholarships, fingers crossed I get something. 110k from USC may be too much to pass up...

USC offered you the fellowship?

Both great schools. I went to undergrad at USC and got an acceptance at Yale SOM.

Ya, sorry for not being clear, I received the fellowship from USC.

Going to be a busy month, visiting schools and seeing if I can strong arm some paper from Yale haha.

Why did you not apply to Marshall? Did you get any money from Yale?

Cool, you'll love USC if you haven't visited yet. The campus is beautiful and the area around is constantly improving. The professors are also incredible. I still keep in touch with many of them.

I did my undergrad at USC, so I wanted to change things up a bit and expand my network further.

For the Ross Consortium applicants- did Jon mention whether we have actually been accepted into the Consortium in addition to Ross? I assume I was, but did not see this explicitly stated anywhere.

Question to all out there... how do you think schools are awarding fellowships in general. Do you think it's based on merit, how much interest you've shown in the school (attended conferences, visits, etc.) Or perceived fit?

There may no be one magic answer to this question at all, but it's worth considering.
Show more

Great question, this is my situation:

1. Tuck didn't offer me the fellowship. (I visited the school several times including Tuck DivCo, and my interview was on campus)
2. Kelley had already offered me 100% so it is natural that they didn't make a consortium offer. (I visited the school and had a skype interview)
3. My 3er school Olin offered me the Consortium fellowship ;). (I have not visited the school yet, and I had a skype interview).

I have a third offer of 100% of a non-consortium school that I visited, and I was soon rejected by my last choice in the consortium ranking which I didn't visit.

So what does this tell us? well obviously that each school has its own scholarship policy, and that somehow showing interest to the schools is a good recommendation but not guaranteed.

I agree with you ketchup...

In my case I did not visit any school prior to interview invites, and I did not contact any students/alumni etc. If I were to do it over again, I would visit more schools beforehand. I was surprised how my opinion of some schools changed after visiting.
I definitely think that visiting/interest helps(esp Tuck!), but I think it ultimately comes down to profile/fit/luck/class diversity and any other factor that the adcom can think of :?

Same for me. My understanding is that if you don't get the fellowship, the Consortium notifies you separately.

Ya, my brother is at USC now, so I know the value of the school and its network. Do not even act like campus is that nice or the area around it though haha, the university park/village/whatever it is called will be nice though.

Haha, I think the campus itself is beautiful. It's not expansive or anything, but it's certainly an incredible campus for a school in downtown Los Angeles.

The surrounding area leaves much to be desired, but it's still way better than when I was there, and consistently improving.

He did mention it on the call and in the email I received. You might reach out to him to double check.

Congrats everyone!!!

Has anyone heard about Consortium $$$ from Anderson? They had some admit decisions come out a few weeks ago, so my guess is that they would have called admits today if they were getting Consortium $$$... can anyone confirm?

Ketchup,

I was a Divco attendee as well and I asked an adcom directly what do you look for when awarding a fellowship? First of all, I believe you DO have to pass through the screen of whether you can handle the rigor of those first two semesters at Tuck. Second, she said they look for 'fit' and they take it very seriously. I'm not an expert, however I don't think it necessarily equates to visitations - this is really where the holistic process they talk about plays in.

You pass thru the screen, then they assess from recs, res, interviews, essays, etc. to see if you fit and are therefore if you are fellowship material. Seems to me Tuck takes the process as seriously as admission (Dawna, the director, signs off on each CGSM fellowship), and they have their own idea of which profiles fit and don't fit at Tuck. You're talking about a school that has a very low yield and less than 20% acceptance rate, so you'd have to assume, they assume if someone wants to come to Tuck it's not just for the fellowship.

I would think Yale and Haas have similar approaches, and the screen may even be more stringent at Haas since it's a public Uni.

So that means 8 of the 17 schools are still mum on fellowships. At least over half are notifying the students. Sigh....
