Nobody has started a thread on this and previous years started 2 months before September, in July. I figured I'd take it upon myself. Is anyone else having difficulty submitting application that have included Darden and Stern? It doesn't allow me to send app saying that I need to respond to 2 different questions for Stern and Darden, but I've check Darden and Stern 10 times and I've filled out everything that's needed. Not sure what to do. Add Consortium Programs to your profile | Consortium Recommendation Questions

Does that mean that we would hear from those schools next week? If the draft is next week, then all the schools would have to provide admit decisions by then even if their decision date is the 26th?

Whats draft day? Finding out you get into the Consortium? Several schools have decision release dates around 3/18, so I dont think Draft Day can be next week

In the past the draft has been before several schools decision release date. The consortium applicants typically find out early since some schools call on the day of the draft. Posted from my mobile device

Not to jump the gun, but hypothetically. What would you choose between consortium scholarship to Yale SOM vs no money at Wharton? MBB is the goal.

For me it would depend on a few things: 1.) How much can I finance out of pocket vs. loans 2.) Do you have a competitive resume for MBB? even at top schools, not all students are the same. I imagine Wharton would have more spots than Yale across all MBB recruiting

Looks like the draft is this week. Does that mean we may hear back from our schools this week?

Has anyone heard an acceptance or denial from R3 from NYU Stern? I wonder if applying through the Consortium might delay because they're waiting to say accepted/denied timed with the draft?

That's interesting, I'm also waiting and now curious if that is why. Kinda not fair but I guess after this week all of the schools will be able to see where we ranked them even if they haven't given an admission decision right?

Does anyone know how likely it is to get offered a fellowship from a lower ranked school if higher ranked schools pass on the fellowship?

The wording of the email does make it seem like there will be fellowship discussions (this week) made before all schools release decisions. From the FAQ: Q: Will a school deny me admission if I don’t rank them high enough? A: No. Rankings only affect fellowship offers, which are made after admission decisions. Its possible schools share the decisions with the Consortium only before the draft meeting?
