Hey guys, this is the info I’ve gathered for the past draft days. Portal notifications have been on Fridays for at least the past 5 years.
Draft day
2016 - March 8th
2017 - March 7th
2018 - March 13th
2019 - March 13th
2020 - March ??

Portal update
2016 - March 18th
2017 - March 17th
2018 - March 23rd
2019 - March 22nd
2020 - March 20th

Wow thanks for this.
Do applicants get initial notification of fellowship decisions ON draft day or do we have to wait until the portal updates?

The Admissions and Financial Aid contact notified me that notification for awards would follow a few days after draft day, which would be before the portal updates, which look to average update 10 days. I was under the assumption that delays would be based on your ranking & where your top school is in the draft process.

Fingers crossed for everyone the next couple weeks!

So from what I’ve gathered some schools will call on draft day but some take their time. Also I’ve seen that your #1 school might let you know before the draft day since they know they have dibs and are going to give you the fellowship. Idk if that makes sense lol

Yep makes sense!
I'm a bit nervous since I got waitlisted from UCLA (who I ranked 1st) and admitted at USC (who I ranked 2nd) and I'm wondering if USC will pass on giving me my fellowship for that reason lol

In a Ross prep event, Bryan said that they’ve given full fellowships to people who have ranked them third, so I don’t think USC would hold anything against you!

I also got accepted to Cornell today via phone notification with the portal updated shortly after! If all schools fall on the same timeline, I believe Consortium membership will be determined by the 10th of next week & first round fellowship awards to follow shortly after.
Did they mention any scholarship in the call?

Yes, they included Non-Consortium scholarship aid in the acceptance offer & mentioned the draft would occur on the 10th with notifications starting the 11th for Consortium related awards.

Hi Everyone! Good to know I'm not the only one anxiously awaiting decisions. I got accepted into USC Marshall yesterday! Still haven't heard from NYU or UCLA. Wishing everyone good luck with interviews/apps


I received interview invites for NYU 1/29 and UCLA 2/1 but from clear admit I see that there are invites still going out for UCLA. NYU says on their website that you can receive initial notification up until 4/1 so there is still time. I would suggest looking at clear admit's livewire since it seems to provide more recent information.

Just found out Consortium's OP event will be virtual again this year.
Anyone have insight on how it went last year with it being virtual? Are recruiting opportunities the same?

Congratulations!! I got a call from Johnson and am admitted as well, but they were my third choice - no mention of Consortium Fellowship. Excited we may be classmates! :)

Has any UNC admits heard back about the Consortium fellowship? I got in with a full scholarship but have not heard if it is the Consortium fellowship.
