Hey, all. Confused somethat by timelines. I heard somewhere (here?) that the draft is on the 13th. Not sure the veracity of that intel, but it seems about right based on prior years. Many schools that I applied to have decision dates of March 14th and tend to call accepted students the day before official decision releases (in this case, the 13th). Would it be reasonable to expect a call on the day of the draft? This, of course, assumes an admit which may/may not be reasonable to begin with. Ha! Posted from my mobile device

Not sure if they know regarding admissions, but I would still have your game face one. FWIW I got a couple of touch points with people from schools admit team and students post the interview.. I'd take it as a good sign for sure, but keep letting them know how much you want to go to their school and most importantly the why Sending positive thoughts your way! Posted from my mobile device

I just emailed the Consortium about this, and they said they are releasing info about Memberships/Fellowships to applicants at the the end of the month.

That is really late! Did they give an actual date? I remember them saying a few months ago that the decisions would be released March 15.

Not sure how accurate this statement is, but I've been told the "MBA Draft" is on March 13th. I was told I'd hear about fellowship offers either the end of that week or early the following.

When i talked to the director he said March 22 the draft day is March 13 but students won’t know until March 22...it’s really not that clear Posted from my mobile device

Does anyone know the what percentage of applicants get the fellowship? Posted from my mobile device

My understanding is the Consortium updates their portal system to show your membership/fellowship decisions at the end of the month. Individual schools may release their admission/scholarship information in advance of the Consortium. Hope that clarifies

The data is a bit difficult to interpret since it does not provide easy to consume sub-segmentation, but, in general, of the 465 who enrolled at a member school, 249 of them had a fellowship. However, 413 were offered fellowship (it is not clear whether this number includes multiple offers, etc.) Check out this report for full info!

Thanks. Those numbers seem like good odds. I know the fellowship covers tuition and fees. Does anyone know if it’s possible to get money from the school to cover cost of living?
