So, is a waitlisted essentially a no? Does when you get put on the waitlist ever have anything to do with anything?

For what it's worth, I was admitted to Marshall in Round 2 last year (non-Consortium) and I was definitely notified on the weekend so I wouldn't completely discount the notion of getting notice on Sunday. On another note, why do the CA schools in particular lag behind in notifications and timelines generally? It seems that laid-back Cali philosophy extends to admissions as well! Waiting on this fellowship decision is the worst...

Awesome--good to know. Do you remember if it was a call/email?

As I recall, I got a voicemail and then a welcome email with USC site login info days later. To angelfire213, I didn't apply last year through the Consortium. I was accepted into a number of schools (coincidentally all were CGSM members), realized I was a lot more cost sensitive than I originally thought, and heard I was a good fit for the program/mission. I deferred and reapplied this year via CGSM...a bit of a gamble that I'm still hopeful will pay off!
