gosh guys, i'm currently not working and just waiting... if u can imagine how horrific that is...
i've had 2 nights of sleepless "all-nighters" for no reason thus far this week
insomnia is killing me!

i applied for most of the schools through the consortium
which was kind of weird albeit the fees were MUCH lower

i've heard *nothing* thus far and the consortium has some sort of a weird interview process where i'm not completely sure whether the schools that require interviews use the consortium interview or not... that interview for me was an hour and 45 min long!!! (w/ a ross alumn)

corsortium website: https://www.cgsm.org/
i ended up paying like $210 for 4 schools... can you believe that?
good deal if u ask me
but it was weird cuz the objective of the group is to raise the number of underrepresented minorities in management
but anyone who is willing to promote that goal is eligible to apply...
the way they worded it was kinda verbose and awkward:

Applicant Eligibility

Prospects who meet all of the following requirements are eligible to apply through The Consortium:

1. Are African Americans, Hispanic Americans, or Native Americans or U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents of any race or ethnicity.
2. Demonstrate a commitment to The Consortium’s mission of helping to reduce the serious underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans in both our member schools’ enrollments and the ranks of management.
3. Hold a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in the U.S. or an equivalent degree from a foreign country.

lucky for me (or maybe unlucky) i don't really have money left to spend to begin with.. need to buy a 400 bucks ticket to fly out to my interview.. it's torture, especially the interview will be in a famous shopping destination

Hey livingfossil, I feel you on the insomnia thing. I've also tried retail therapy with no result... I keep thinking that I should do something, like retake the GMAT coz I haven't met anyone with scores as low as mine who applied to the schools I've applied to.

Unfortunately, I found this wine I absolutely love, its not dry at all and its rather sweet, and almost downed a bottle on a weeknight in the hopes of getting drowsy. Lol I was definitely a crazy scientist the following day at work.

i'm actually thinking about more backup schools... anyone have any such schools that they found to have made a strong impression on them in some sort of way?
