@kawasaki, you deserve it- congrats! Around this time last year, you wrote on the Consortium thread that you had an acceptance without scholarship dollars and were debating matriculating or holding out a year. Speaking from personal experience, I also made that hard choice last cycle and too was rewarded this year with full tuition scholarship dollars as well.
Good going to everybody getting a Consortium Fellowship! And, for those of you who didn't get a full-tuition scholarship anywhere, but know in your heart your worth more than just a mere acceptance letter-- you probably are! Hold on to hope for the future, because people of good character and persistence with the courage to hold out do get rewarded!
@rrossjd - Congrats on your success this year too!.
The decision to hold out b-school last year was one of the toughest decisions of my life. But like you rightfully said, it paid off - 2 full rides and 2 partial scholarships later. I could not have stated your quote any better, and I'll restate it here - Hold on to hope for the future, because people of good character and persistence with the courage to hold out do get rewarded!.
At the end of the day folks, if you did not get the fellowship/scholarship, make the best decision for YOU, be it a do-over or taking loans.
