Hey gablaze, how did you get your login info for Tuck? My buddy is in a similar boat.. radio silence, but he never got an email about his login info. He also applied via Consortium.. needless to say, he's a bit eager to learn of his fate.

Feel free to hit me up via PM if you prefer.

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE TO MAKING IT THIS FAR!! Hopefully, the light is at the end of all of our tunnels.

Wow! I stayed off of the forum today, the government probably found out that I'm the site too much because interestingly this site is now blocked, lol. Anyway, I log in and I see I missed some serious drama.... Mooze.. I think you take the story of the year, from down, dumped, and defeated to sheer TRIUMPH! (Socrates philosophies and hypotheses....ha just popped in my mind).... IT'S MARCH MADNESS FOLKS!!! MADNESS! Congrats to you mooze, and to all of the other admits and scholarship ballers out there.

I got the call from Johnson Thursday - fellowship!

I definitely appreciate the reminder that it's a blessing just to get an acceptance. I went through the b-school app process before and got waitlisted, and it just made me more determined to get it together and put the best possible app together. For those of you who are waitlisted, don't despair. My happy ending didn't come in the form of an acceptance before, but it did result in me 1) becoming a better applicant 2) getting $$ for school, and 3) (and most important) ending up at the school that was actually the best choice for me.

Congrats to all of you and hopefully!! I'll see some of you at Johnson come August.

WOW! I just saw something in this article as I re-read it. We've talked over the last couple of days about the strategies that the schools use to draft students, and the question came up: 1. How does a lower ranked school get to offer you the fellowship? 2. And what happens to all of the money that gets turned down?

According to the P&Q article on the Consortium draft:
1. The schools get first dibs voting on the students who rank them first. However, they can only choose SIX at a time. If they pass on you, a lower ranked school has the opportunity to snag you before your top choice comes back around. They do this in 6 rounds. Now that's the way I interpreted the article with my second read. If anyone interprets/understands it differently, please let me know because I could be understanding it wrong.
2. Many of the schools offer more fellowships than they have room for trying to get the right number of students. To the student that said that Anderson mentioned the possibility of a fellowship, it sounds like their school policy could be to give out the fellowships that didn't get accepted.

Here's a link to the article: https://poetsandquants.com/2011/04/20/inside-the-20-million-mba-draft/ - Draft details are on page 2 of the article.

Makes me so happy that I only chose to apply to one Consortium school because I knew I wanted Kelley.

Halo!

My login information was emailed to me a couple of weeks ago. However, I still could not see my decision letter. Needless to say, I did not self-initiate an interview and was not invited. I am not eager to see my result :)

One of the students PM-ed me on their intepretation, and I happen to agree now that some of my euphoria has died down, and I re-read the article. Their intepretation is that the schools can choose as many of their first round picks to which they'd like to offer the fellowship. So one school might choose 6, another 8, another 14, etc. And then schools get the opportunity to pick students in later rounds according to the rankings (1-6). Thank you for showing me the error of my ways!

wow!! there's been a lot of activity on this forum in the last few days!!

congrats to everyone that received a consortium fellowship thus far! there's still money out there and consortium membership letters get mailed out on monday! :woohoo

i actually turned down my consortium fellowship offer from one school to attend Johnson (i received the park leadership fellowship) and have official claimed Johnson on GmatClub as my new home for the next two years :-D

i assumed since i was awarded the consortium fellowship that i gained consortium membership and as long as i attend a member school, i'll be a consortium member (sound assumption, right?).

anyways, good luck to those who are still waiting and to those who are still deciding... :gl

Hey Y'all. Just wanted to share the great news on my end. This past Wednesday I had two of the best phone calls of my life. At about 4pm in the afternoon, when I was starting to wonder if I'd hear anything at all, I got the ADMIT call from ROSS!!

20 Minutes later I got The Consortium call from CORNELL. Full Fellowship!!!

I see many great posts for other fellows and am very happy for everyone's continued success.

Thanks Method. I remember putting in all those hard hours of study and writing, wondering what it would amount to but trusting that it would work out. It's amazing to think back on all that work and see what it's come to. I'm sure I'm not alone on this.

I was thinking the same day as well, but since I got the Park fellowship I may move that back to right before OP. Not completely sure though, since those last few weeks can take care of moving costs and a lot of miscellaneous things that will come up, but I know for sure that I'm not working past 6/29.

I'll work til August to cover for the relocation costs. Also, I am gunning for a complete wardrobe change for school, new furniture, and some new eletronics (laptops, new iphone 5 hopefully.)

Is there anyone here bringing their car? I have never driven cross country.

My wife is an attorney and since we are moving to California she has to sit for the bar in late July. she told me she needs a little over a month to prepare so we will be moving in June. I'll probably put my two weeks notice in on the last day of May.

I can really use the break anyway my job has been killing me stressing me out with a lot of running around. I also would like to read, get caught up with the current business climate, and prepare for classes that I may have trouble with quantitatively.

Besides if I try to squeeze one more ounce of semi-productive work out of me when when I am completely the the detached from and apathetic toward this job I may lose my mind or get fired in the process

I've been with my company for several years now, so I've already given notice that I will be leaving in May. This ensures that I'm out before OP, and I will actually be able to rest a month or so before I have to relocate. Since the company pays me out my vacation, I'll be paid through most of the month of June.

I have to cover relocation expenses (in my case, cheaper to move my furniture than replace it) and new wardrobe in addition to required expenses for school like tuition deposits, case materials, orientation packet, books, etc. I just bought a laptop last year, so I'm good on hardware, but need to upgrade my OS per school requirements. I'm hoping that I've planned well enough to cover the first several months of living expenses as well. But I'll at least be good to relocate and cover the requirements until other funds kick in.

Thanks Method!

To Mooze - I'll be working until mid-July. I see that doing my pre-MBA prep work and preparing to move are going to be my new part-time jobs.... :) but it's OK
