congrats to those who succeeded today. and for those of us who had a disappointing day, a quick reminder that life is about a lot more than which school you go to or how much debt you accumulate while studying there. you've already proven yourself to be a leader by starting the b-school process. lets not stop here. we are the generation that is destined to change the world and to re-establish this nation as the fountainhead of all innovtion, progress and prosperity.

P.S. 100 pages of comments! obviously we consortium applicants have a lot to say :-p

Well, well, well said.

I just received a call from a telemarketer. When my phone started ringing, I thought it might be a school. I was pissed. I told the guy "don't call this number again, you hear me, don't call this number again."

LOL! DanJohn4real, are you Nigerian? That sounds like what my dad would say

Naijaman - how far!

haha oh snap! Can't believe I missed the GMATClub Naija reunion

Dont jump to conclusions my friend. Some might really not be able to take on additional debt given their personal and/or financial circumstances.

That being said, I agree with you that having an admit is a blessing to be grateful for. Btw- theres still time for R3. I personally know two friends who got into top schools in R3 last year and neither of them were superstars.



Thats true, for those that can't afford to go into debt i sincerely wish they get at least scholarships if not the fellowship. Getting an admit and knowing you can't enroll has to be its own kind of turmoil.

About R3,...i know technically there's a chance but its not a good one. And i'd prefer to save my resources for next year hopefully. I'm wait-listed at Ross and Haas so technically still in the game, i'll try to boost my chances w/ those schools. Worst comes to worst, I think i may re-apply to those 2, plus a couple others next year.

I just really really wanted to go this year,...in no small part because of my age,..i'm 30. I'm getting long in the tooth.


Things may seem bleak now, but it will all work out for you. I too am a re-applicant and north of 30 with a wife and child and I didn't get in any school last year.... needless to say I felt pretty worthless for a little while... but God tries to protect us from ourselves sometimes. I just got accepted and $$$ from a school I did not even apply too last... I guess that is just where I'm suppose to be. Not saying you won't get in your preferred choice next year if you don't this year (prob get scooped up off the waitlist) but thing could be happening a certain way for a reason. You will still accomplish all of your goals regardless of when and which school you enter....

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. Congrats on the fellowship!

My goodness, there has been soooo much activity on here the past few days. I just want to say congratulations to everybody who has received acceptances and fellowships over the past few days. And to those who are still waiting, we are all rooting for you. Hang in there, there’s still a long way to go. It truly makes me feel warm inside to see the positive outcomes for so many of you who have been posting here on the forum over the past months.

To all the lurkers who came out of the shadows after decisions were released, welcome. We all hope you will all continue to contribute to the community This forum is going to provide an incredible amount of insight to the next class, let’s keep it going
and I hope to see everybody at OP!

Can anyone give me the quick lowdown on whether Darden uses or admits to using the Consortium rankings? Admissions or fellowship decisions only?

I'm happy to report that I just received the call from UNC, I'm in with the fellowship!!! :)

Now my decision is going to be really though to make. I already have an offer from Wisconsin with full Schorlarship + living Stipend. I have a lot to consider now. I'm very lucky to have this dilemma. Good luck to those still waiting.
