I heard NYU offers scholarships at the time of admission and its final so they do not wait until March. Hence you have to rank them first if you want the fellowship from them.

Does anyone have a rough idea when we will get official admissions paperwork from Marshall?

I’m hoping for something this upcoming week since their campus is closed until then. Frankly, a bit apprehensive only having a verbal acceptance and nothing in writing

R2 applicant here - how descriptive do you have to be where the application asks you to fill out your job description/accomplishments and skills learned? Is it recommended to fill up the word-count? Any thoughts on regurgitating/not regurgitating your resume?

I'm using the program ApplicantLab, and it just says to be more conversational. You could talk about what tools / applications / industries you worked with and any extracurriculars. It was easier for me in consulting bc I could be much higher level than my specific projects in my app.

I saw someone else post about not seeing anyway to view rankings after you submit. In the "Check Status" and "My Programs" it's freaking me out that they are in the exact opposite order that I submitted!

I took a photo of my ranking page for my sanity - 1 means highest and 4 means lowest - it's not opposite world right? Thank you for anyone that can relieve my stress!

My other question is, is anyone else seeing the "Unofficial Transcript" marked in their submitted application? (If you go directly to the Submissions page per school and click the down carrot). I attached an Official Transcript that was purchased from my school but it is a virtual PDF. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated - I've also sent another help ticket. Thank you so much!

I think the rankings do not show up accurately on the "Check Status" page. As long as you ranked them correctly, I think you should be fine. I also took a picture haha. 1 means top choice/highest. Don't stress, it will be okay!

Just got an email from Marshall saying my admissions materials will be mailed next week when their ops manager returns haha. So hopefully we're getting our info soon!

I just created a separate topic for this but I somehow submitted my school rankings completely incorrectly without seeing the actual rankings page. I thought I was supposed to rank it after the payment page. I contacted support but am I totally screwed?

Received that as well. Since it’s physical mail, I wonder if we’ll be getting swag along with it like some of the other T20/T15 schools lol

It doesn't seem one can switch after submission. I searched a bunch of posts and every year someone asks - it seems Consortium doesn't have the internal capability to even see what you submitted (probably to remain impartial?)

I wouldn't stress though, if you're submitting through Consortium it must mean you're doing some pretty awesome things and will probably be regarded highly at your schools and also for other scholarships!

Thank you for the support! I have no idea what ranking I even submitted though! When I check the "Check Status - My Programs" and the "Payment History" orders, they are already different and completely random.

If you didn't touch anything, they'd just be in alphabetical order. So for example, Cornell, Dartmouth, Michigan, NYU, Rice, UVA, and so forth.

That's what I was thinking but when I go to "Submit Application" right now and sort by "Alphabetical" it shows "University of California, Los Angeles" above "University of California, Berkeley" but that doesn't make any sense so I'm wondering if the same thing happened when I submitted.

From what I remember, it's definitely in the correct A --> Z order!

Got it - thanks for letting me know! Either way all the schools I applied to are great schools so I'll allow destiny to pick where I wind up (if accepted at all).

Has anyone completed the Online GMAT and is having problems with the Consortium finding your official score reports? I don't see anything on the Check Status page saying my scores have been accepted.
