Calling All 2017 Consortium MBA Applicants!!!

Update for you guys:

Submitted application: 1/5/2017

Invites to interview received (in the order in which they were received):
Georgetown McDonough (via email 1/12/2017)
Carnegie Mellon Tepper (via email 1/12/2017)
Cornell Johnson* (*disclaimer: I haven't received an official email but the status on my application says "schedule interview" since 1/13/2017 which I understand means that the invitation is coming)
UVA Darden (via email 1/25/2017)

I'm genuinely surprised and thankful for the invites so far. I didn't expect it would go this well for me to be honest! Still to hear from Yale SOM and NYU Stern. Fingers crossed! Good luck to all still waiting to hear back!

Congrats! Has anyone heard from Yale?

Nothing from Yale, unfortunately. I have seen a few invites on livewire but nothing for Consortium applicants.

I've seen the same... Thanks!!

Hey guys,

I received a very general email from Stern acknowledging that they received my application. It looks like a promotional email for career switchers. Did anyone else receive something similar?

Question.

Has anyone heard anything from Ross? I know they said they were sending applications at the end of the month. I'm curious to know if anyone received an invitation to interview as of today?

Hey, my application says submitted on the Stern portal I was able to create but I did not get a confirmation email. When did you get the email?

Hi All,

Anyone applied to USC Marshall? Have you heard anything?

I received the stern career switcher promo email as well but not yet a confirmation that they have received my application. I don't think they've sent out any consortium applicant interview invites but I could be wrong

I think I saw a consortium round 2 with an invite to interview at Ross. Scroll up in the last few pages of this thread. I could be wrong though!

I got the same email a few days ago but it doesn't mention anything about my application or Consortium.

I received two emails that day. The first one came in at 11:40am and was the general career switcher promo. It started out like:

"Greetings from MBA admission!
This month we feature our industry Immersion program, which supports..."

The second one came in at 11:49am which was very similar to the first career switcher email, however it started out like:

"Greetings from MBA admission!
Thank you for submitting your application to NYU Stern. The admissions Commitee is processing and reading applications from around the world - including yours! Our door is open, and we invite you to continue engaging with our community:

Contact a student...
Visit Us..."

Didn't get the second email. They may send it out as they review applications

Applied R2 to Yale via Consortium and received an interview invite on Jan 23 - it's rolling admissions so I wouldn't stress! Hope this is helpful

Congrats! I'm starting to think the ranking matters in the order schools receive your application. I ranked Darden first and received an invite in the first wave. I ranked Yale last and probably won't hear back until late wave (if I get an invite).

Does anyone know how the member schools receive our essays? The text boxes on the consortium application left a lot up to my imagination. I called and asked and emailed and asked a few weeks ago, but they must be to busy to reply.

I think the responses are exported to a PDF. The application uses the same system as Fuqua's application and I was able to see my Fuqua application proof in the same layout as you would on a computer screen. However, I was thrown off by character count of the text boxes. For example, 2000 characters for Haas would be more words than the 250-word limit in the standard Haas application. To play it safe, I stuck to the limit given by each school.

Did anyone who applied to Ross via Consortium R2 get an interview invite? It seems like the second wave of interview invites went out. Pretty sad to not hear anything back.

Also, has anyone heard back from Haas at all?

I have heard back with interview invites from UNC Kenan Flagler and UCLA Anderson.
