Calling All 2015 Consortium Applicants Thread

The bolding is mine.

My point in defending my positions is that I don't say things unless I know them to be true to a reasonable doubt. MOST APPLICANTS, IRRESPECTIVE OF ETHNICITY, DO NOT DO THEIR RESEARCH IN THE PROCESS OF APPLYING TO BSCHOOL. And I mean real, hard, digging down to the ground research. Fact. How on earth do you think there are so many applicants every year to business school, and it's so competitive to get into schools? Because if everyone spent the time to learn this game, really, really well, there wouldn't be folks applying to bschool fresh out of college to schools that require two years of work experience, or folks who want to be high powered Management Consultants post-MBA spending time applying to schools like Georgetown and Emory...THOSE ARE NOT THE BEST SCHOOLS THAT CHURN OUT HIGH POWERED MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS!

POINT BLANK: I am well aware that there are lots of people who don't know what we know about this process. I don't have hard numbers, which is why I don't give percentages or, well, hard numbers (yet another thing you've failed to notice in my posts.) If you don't like my assertions about the process, it is all good, yo...ignore them. For real. IGNORE THEM. But next time, also be sure to point out WHEN I'M WRONG when you do. Checking my stats...not to be cocky, but I haven't been wrong yet.

rolls eyes.

Nobody was "coming for" anybody. I didn't do research on consortium (didn't know what OP was either till much later) but yeaaa enjoy your pedestal with your "stats".

aanyway - guess everyone got that email from The consortium basically saying.....nothing. Mid-march huh? Nothing we didn't know before.

I received the same email.

Going through this time has caused my to doubt myself. I am sure others are going through the same. I hardly slept last night wondering if this is even going to happen for me. I decided to go back and read my essays for some of my applications and it was a great experience. I have intentionally not read any of them since submitting my applications. Reading those essays this morning made me proud of what I was able to put together and comfortable that I did the best I could give the circumstances. I tried my ass off. Yeah maybe I could have studied more and pushed my GMAT score higher. Maybe I could have rephrased a certain statement in an essay. Maybe I could have done a better double windsor knot for my interview or known the head of ad com's cats name. But, whatever. What is done is done. The outcome is out of my control and if it doesn't work out exactly as I intended, I know it is not a true reflection of my abilities or a reflection of who I am as a person. No matter what happens life will go on and continue on the already successful and awesomely blessed path it is on. Just having the opportunity to really believe in myself enough to apply to schools of this caliber is amazing in itself. #mbaapplicantproblems #EffItOuttaMyControl
