https://kelley.iu.edu/mba/images/consortiumLogo.gif 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.

OMG!! Just when i thought I was doomed to wait for next cycle......TUCK OFFERED ME THE FELLOWSHIP THIS MORNING!!!!

I'm so happy,...God is amazing,..I was pretty much in despair after not getting the Ross admit yesterday. Amazing feeling right now.

in my best hood, new orleans accent: HWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Dude, it sounded like we just needed to help talk you down from the ledge yesterday... now I'm sure you're flying over it!!!

Congradulation.... shoot, 9th inning 3 balls/2strike - at the free throw line with no time on the clock - game winning field goal.... you hit all the clutch shots on this one.... it HAS to feel amazing!!

Was that your top choice?

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.

Yo! Congratulations arzad....... wow you do have some tough decisions to make!!!

Which way are you leaning?

WOW!!!! God is AMAZING, isn't He!!! I was going to take a day off this forum just to relax and prepare myself for all of the work that I have to do this weekend. Do things like get in a workout, take a nap, etc. So I don't plan to be on here throughout the day as I was yesterday. Since my school isn't yet making calls, I think I'll actually wait more patiently if I engage in my hobbies. Lol.

But I'm so glad that I saw this posts. mooze, I was praying for you yesterday because I could see your despair after the Ross situation. But thankfully, you only needed ONE admit, and to knock it out with a fellowship, too, to Tuck is truly wonderful. Congratulations!!!!!

YOU have made my day! Now I'll go enjoy the rest of the weekend (keeping my phone with me at all times, of course). I need a break, but I'm not cray!
