Calling All Consortium 2013 Applicants

I just got a confirm email yesterday from Ross...so that makes sense.

Hi! New to the conversation, but have been lurking here (and on last year's thread) for a while.

Anybody know anything about Yale interview invites? I'm wondering if not having heard anything yet is a bad sign...Yale is my top choice, and I really want to get to the interview stage at least!

I haven't heard from Cornell yet, either, but was invited to interview with Ross on the 31st (Went to spam! Be on the look out!).

Thanks!

I haven't heard from Yale either...I'm leaning towards thinking I'm a ding.

Has anyone from Consortium received a Yale interview invite?

I received my interview invite on January 7th. The e-mail did ask Consortium applicants to schedule their interview on or before February 14th. I'm not sure how likely they'd be to send out more invites a week prior to the deadline. It might be worth looking into it to make sure all of your Consortium material transferred over correctly?

Thanks!

Hmmm...it's showing up on Yale page that my GMAT score is missing....

I contacted them already about this and they said not to trust the status.

Thanks for your input, that makes sense. My application didn't actually get sent to Yale from the Consortium until later much later than Jan 7th--around the 24th or so--due to a delay in ETS score reporting (GRE taker here). The Consortium assured me that it would not reflect badly on me since I got all of my materials in on time, and that basically all of the people who reported GRE scores were in the same boat. I'm going to go ahead and assume that that delay is the reason for this delay (gotta keep hope alive until the ding comes, right?).

I remember when I visited the school the Director of Admissions said that they send out interview invites right up to their deadlines, so not receiving one right away doesn't necessarily mean you won't be asked. I hope that is true!

Finally got an invite to Tepper today! Any ladies traveling to the Women at Tepper event on Febraury 18th?

Anyone else scheduled for Consortium interview days at Johnson tomorrow and terrified about your travel plans/ getting stranded it Ithaca in a blizzard?

Welcome to life in Ithaca
(Sorry, I had to!)

So wrong kid.... Vandy was my final application also without a consultant's help... nice try...

...what a way to end the week! Accepted to Tuck...and Cornell... #excited!!

what am i nice trying? youre the one who made the comment about using the two consultants and seemed like your comment about that was a bit snarky to machichi but even if its without a consultant youre still gonna gain some insight from your consultants assistance in other apps for your very last application..

tldr the whole process is expensive and costs money for everyone involved no matter what and we all spend money on alternate transcripts, gmat scores, gmat prep, travel, time, etc everything else. ultimately it is up to us to pick the schools and go with the methods that give us the best return on investment for our own desired goals. if something doesnt work for you then you have to make that decision

congrats jay

also that is probably for first rounders not 2nd round seeing as i dont think consortium event sent round 2s out by then?

Applied R2 to Darden, email confirmation Feb 1, just got interview invite on Feb 8.

So excited! Have my Marshall Interview in less than two hours, and also got an interview invite from Anderson earlier this afternoon! Now I'm just holding my breath for Haas.
