Thanks guys (and girls) its the least I can do, considering how much I have gained from reading about everyones journey thus far. I appled R2 to Tuck, Yale, Tepper, and Olin. And outside the Consortium to Duke and Wharton. This process took at least 5 years off my life.

Ha, I felt the same way, hopefully we can add a few back on when this whole process is done. Were you able to visit any of the Consortium schools? What were your impressions of them on your visits?

AFAIK, my views and my track record has been inline with the mission of the CGSM. I am from a minority but I get bundled up with a larger group on the background surveys. I knew the chance was slim but it was worth a shot. I didn't do it for the fellowship but I won't turn it down. My essay wasn't the greatest but I do have a reference who has known and worked with me for 4 years and has seen me uphold the same principles. My grandparents were refugees, my father was the first person to attend college in his entire extended family and I've seen the difference an education made in his life (and mine). If I don't get the fellowship, I'm still glad I applied and glad to know there is someone out there giving the opportunity similar to the one that enabled my dad to escape his situation.


The other part I failed to mention was the Mission Recommendation. None of your schools will see your membership essay or the mission recommendation either.


That sucks!!! My mission essay was by far the strongest in my set.

Speaking of Consortium, does anyone know if Stern ever matches fellowships in case you didn't rank them #1? I was going back and forth between them and UCLA, and ultimately I decided to go with the known even though I had a better experience with the NYU community.

Congrats to both of you! I have a theory they may have gone in alphabetical order, just out of curiosity what do you last names start with?

No invite to scholarship weekend for me, but that's A-okay, I'm just stoked to have some GREEN on my profile! And I'm in the process of beefing up my GMAT before the Consortium draft so that still gives me hope on that end.

And Senator, my last name begins with 'T'

What about everyone else? My last name starts with an A, and looking back at the forum I think I may have gotten the first call. Could be wrong, but if it is correlated with last name those of you in Round Two can notate this.

Mine starts with 'G', and i got the call not too long after you, so your theory may be correct
