https://kelley.iu.edu/mba/images/consortiumLogo.gif Note: Application for Fall 2011 is now live! Q: What is the Consortium? A: The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management is the country’s preeminent organization for promoting diversity and inclusion in American business. Through an annual competition, The Consortium awards merit-based, full-tuition fellowships to America’s best and brightest candidates. In conjunction with our member schools, sponsoring companies, and our elite group of MBA students and alumni, The Consortium has built a forty year legacy of fostering inclusion and changing the ethnic and cultural face of American business. Q: How does the application process for the Consortium differ from a regular school application? A: Common Application - One application allows you to apply to up to six Consortium schools. (University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill requires that all applicants submit both The Consortium application and the UNC application) Tiered Application Fee - Using The Consortium common application significantly reduces your application fee costs. You may apply to up to two member schools for $150, three schools for $200, four schools for $240, five for $275, and six for $300 (source: Official Consortium website ) Essays - There are 2 common essays as part of the Consortium application. Additionally, each member school you are applying to requires at least 1 separate, school specific essay. Interviews - There is 1 common Consortium interview that you must schedule with either a Consortium Alum or a representative at a Consortium School. Note that the interview does not necessarily have to take place at a school you are applying to. Afterward, individual schools may or may not require an additional school specific interview. Q: Can I apply even if I am not an under-represented minority? A: The Consortium seeks applicants who align themselves with its mission . Being a minority is not a prerequisite as long as the applicant has demonstrated a commitment to the Consortium's mission in his or her life.

Have NYU dings/interview invites been sent out yet?

Yes for both but dings only for R1 I believe and interviews for both R1 and R2.

So technically a R2 applicant who hasn't been dinged is still alive.

I stopped speculating a long time ago..like 3 minutes ago to be exact but still..I stopped speculating

UCLA Anderson just confirmed that their decisions won't go out until March 30! I'm not sure exactly how this is going to work with the fellowship discussions taking place on 3/1 and decisions going out in mid-March, but that's what they are sticking to. This is going to be a horrible wait.

Well they'll know what their decisions is regarding your candidacy on the 1st but they just won't tell you until the end of the month lol.

Also I think we're a particularly high strung inquisitive group....last years consortium thread was 45 pages total....this year we're already at 53, with almost no round two decisions yet.

Not sure if anyone else heard this, but I literally just spoke to one assistant admissions director at Tuck and they said that the Consortium requires that ALL schools make decisions about fellowships before 3/1. Which I am assuming means that the schools that require you to do a interview in addition to the Consortium interview have already sent out all of their interview invites, seeing as though 3/1 is next Tuesday.

Yeah, that date has been confirmed but doesn't that just mean that those who don't have invites now are probably not going to get the fellowship? It does not mean that one won't get into the school. March 1st is near so schools may be rushing to interview those they deem as fellowship-worthy, but I wouldn't give up on an invite or admission which could come any time in March/April. I've heard from all my Consortium schools but this is what I tell my friends who are still waiting to hear in order to keep hope alive!

Does anyone think some schools engage in "horse trading" (for lack of a better term) during the fellowship meeting on March 1st? For example:

Bobby applies to Tuck and UCLA, and ranks them in that order. Bobby has great stats and a great background. On paper, Bobby seems like a great candidate for any school. However, Tuck thinks Bobby is just not a good fit, so they put him in the reject pile. Meanwhile, UCLA is like oh wow, Bobby is great, he deserves to be here, but he ranked us #2 and he'll probably get in to Tuck which he ranked #1, so we'll put Bobby in our "maybe" pile. The schools come together on March 1, they show each other who they are admitting, and UCLA finds out that Tuck is in fact NOT admitting Bobby. UCLA decides to move Bobby from the "maybe" pile into the "admit + fellowship" pile.

This example might seem a little convoluted, but basically I'm wondering if they use the fellowship meeting as an opportunity to make any last minute accepts/rejects based on what other schools are doing. We're obviously not going to get the answer to this, but there has to be a reason behind being done on March 1 to not releasing decisions until the end of March (for schools that do that)

I'm considering killing Quadaffi so I can supplement my application. If I can swing this before MArch 1, do you guys think it will improve my chances for a FS?

So I'm recruiting any applicants who are on the fringes of the applicant pool...anyone want to come along...you'd have a better story for diversity day.
