Hi I have a question related to my recommender. My supervisor just forwarded me his completed recommendation for my reference (I didn't ask him to send it to me, so he just did it himself which was kinda strange).

But I noticed that it looks like he pasted the reccomendation incorrectly since it just cuts off mid-sentence. However, more concerning, I noticed that when he filled out my personality traits, he put down that I was exceptional on everything except for one item related to "teamwork/ working well with others" which is the only thing that he put down was average. I think this stands out pretty stark and I'm honestly a little concerned because I've heard poor interpersonal skills is a kiss of death on the reccomendation letter. I know he put that down because I am honestly a bit of an introvert and I don't really enjoy that my workplace feels like a frat-house (very informal, weird post-college frat culture for a bank) so I can see why he put that down.

I guess will this be extremely bad for application? I've spent A LOT of time preparing my applications and other material and sooo much time preparing for the GMAT that I'm a little disappointed about this and worried that a lot of hard work was for naught soon.

See if there's an option to revoke it and ask someone else to. If you can't then it's done. Just tell him "hey I see that it was cut off. Do you mind resending it complete?" You have to be assertive at times in life when big things are on the line.

Did what he write support his grid evaluation? Do you know if your other recommender said something similar?

Anyone still waiting for them to submit your app to schools? How do you know when they finally do?

Do Consortium candidates get interview / no interview invite sooner than others? I’m looking through the thread and it seems some people got notified relatively shortly after the deadlines.

Posted from my mobile device

That's because in many cases the deadline for Consortium R1 was after the non Consortium R1 deadline, in some cases 3-5 weeks later. For R2 the deadlines are a bit closer together, so you should expect to get interview invites around the same time as other applicants.

How many schools contact you separately to make a login? My app was forwarded to schools but that’s it. Does this take a few days?

Not 100% sure, but I would assume every school gets you a login. So far 2 of my 6 schools have reached out with portal information.

Not yet. Did you receive an application confirmation e-mail? I haven't received anything from KF.

I only received a confirmation email from the Consortium that all my applications have been submitted. That was received on the 10th. I'm noticing from the ClearAdmit Livewire that invites were already sent out for non-Consortium applicants, so just wanted to check in.

I didn’t get an email from the consortium saying my apps were submitted. It does say so in the VIP page. Are you 100% supposed to receive an email?

Possible when we get the logins, we will see a decision once we login.

For McCombs: Do we have to send GMAT scores directly to the program or is sending to the Consortium sufficient?

Anyone sign up for the consortium interview day at Ross? Is there supposed to be an email confirmation once you complete the survey?
