Thanks! I applied to CBS just after Christmas. I really wanted to check out the diversity day and visit all of the schools before applying. As for the GRE - the GMAT stifled me! I scored 640 (V:37, Q:42) on the GMAT. Somehow, I scored in the top 95% in both the ACT and SAT and test out of math through Calc 2 in college. Despite a lot of practice, the data sufficiency questions keep dominating me. So I took two practice GREs and went in blindly a couple of weeks after my 640 and scored the 670 equiv.

How many Consortium members do we have heading to Darden?

Anyone heading down to Emory tomorrow for Welcome Weekend?

In case anyone was wondering, Consortium Members get funding for OP just like fellows, which I think is awesome! Don't forget deadline for acceptance is April 15th. As per Consortium via email: Yes, we pay for all incoming students’ hotel and conference registration. We also provide up to $300 per student in airfare. Once you submit your enrollment form online, you will receive an email that details all of this, along with a policy sheet that you will be required to sign and return in order to move forward with your OP arrangements.

I will be heading to Darden! Just sent in my OP forms--so excited!

Hey everyone! Don't forget to join The Consortium facebook group... https://www.facebook.com/groups/490003377726921/ See you all at OP!

I'm Rd 2 Consortium and just got off the waitlist to Darden. Looks like I'm heading there as there isn't really any reason to attend Marshall over it. I would suggest to all who are interested in getting off the waitlist to contact their school of choice immediately and explain that the school is there number one choice, they will attend if accepted, and speak directly to the Consortium Rep for the school explaining you want to go to OP and need to know by April 15th if you are going to be accepted by the program. In case anyone is interested, I explained what I did to get off the waitlist on the Darden Waitlist forum: https://gmatclub.com/forum/darden-virginia-2013-calling-all-waitlisted-applicants-149437.html#p1199373 Feel free to contact me with any questions, I'd love to help!
