0/2 no Ross no Stern. Humbling process for sure. All good. Still five other schools to hear from.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you rank your schools? Just trying to see if that might have played a role so far.

I could be overreacting or jumping the gun on Stern I just checked the status update and see that nothing has changed. Not sure. Uneasy as all hell honestly. Ross I am pretty sure no dice. Stern is 3 Ross is 4 out of a total five Consortium schools. I suppose divulging doesn't hurt. I hope it may be useful info to people. Regardless I am trying to take this as humbling of ego and elimination of any feeling of entitlement (not that I had any to begin with). How did you rank schools (if you don't mind me asking)? Do you feel it had a big impact on your outcomes? You may have listed the answers previously but I don't feel like poring over this entire thread to find them. Sorry they don't call me LazyBoy for nothin'

Keep your head up LazyBoy8! Maybe Stern is sending out another wave at a later date? Not sure about your total profile but your GMAT is strong, you should have a decent shot. I remember you mentioning starting a job, have you updated adcoms? Also, maybe some campus visits are in order if you haven't already been?

I ranked my schools: 1. Ross 2. Johnson 3. KF 4. Kelley 5. McDonough 6. Marshall In my case, I don't believe the rankings had that much of an impact. I'm basing that on them not being as rankings sensitive as some of the other schools in the Consortium, to my knowledge. Of my friends who applied to Ross in round 2 and ranked them in either the 4,5,or 6 spot, none of them got an interview invite back in January. It's a small sample size but I'm starting to think that they based some of their invites on the rankings. I might be completely wrong on that though. Just stay confident and optimistic, you'll be hearing good news in no time!

Once you are accepted to a school, your commitment to The Consortium’s mission will be evaluated....Fellowships are awarded through an overall review of the overall merit of your application. They are made by the admissions and scholarship committees at each member schools – not by The Consortium. Decisions regarding fellowships are typically made in mid-March and will come from the school. https://www.cgsm.org/students/prospectiv ... tructions/

yea, the problem is I don't live in NY and the only other days Stern offers are weekdays.... going to see if Booth will be flexible.

eesh23 Congratulations! Also good to know they've made it through some Consortium applications. All the best!

Is there a general consensus that if you haven't received an interview invite from Stern (R2) you probably will not be getting one? I understand that they aren't all necessarily sent out at once but...... Bummer.
