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.

#6 was wisconsin. I grew up in wisconsin but live in california now. They originally offered me a full tuition scholarship and assistantship ($8000) back in december. I figured with such an aggresive offer so early other schools would respond favorably as well. I just got an email from the director saying I'm a consortium fellow for wisconsin, so I assume all of the other schools turned me down. I'm grateful but also a little bummed. My #1 was ucla and wonder if they will still consider me for admittance even without the fellowship.starting to wonder if applying through the consortium will work against me in this case.

I am pulling my hair... by the end of the day, I will be officially bold. I can't handle it anymore... I can't....

I'm with you. My concentration (outside of this forum) is non-existent. I mean, its only the rest of our lives we're talking about here. It's only $200K worth of student loan payments for the next 20 years. Its only the difference between CEO, CFO and cubicle king. Its only ...uhh, oh crap, I just realized that this is the 800 lb. gorilla of my life we're talking about here!
although we've been kidding around a lot on this forum, today's meeting in St. Louis is no joke..

I literally just got my tooth pulled....and I was checking this forum while he was shooting me up with novocaine. How's that for forum addiction. So I can honestly say that waiting for this decision is worse than getting a tooth pulled.

I got it too, I doubt it necessarily means ding. The status is posted online whether you're admitted or not, the difference is probably that someone will call you before an update is made should you be admitted. If dinged they'll probably just post it online and avoid awkward phone call lol

I checked this the other day, based on last year's thread, Ross won't notify candidates till Monday or Tuesday of next week. Wouldn't read much into this, just procedural it seems like.

Sorry if I'm a little dense guys....what the hell is happening right now? They are calling all/some applicants about fellowships today? What about if you haven't been admitted anywhere yet, do they call with admit + fellowship decision? Or is it just for people with acceptances? Is this R1 or R2? Someone needs to catch me up...I got a little lost hahaha.

this may or may not compare in terms of the freak-out factor, but a couple weeks after I got into Darden, I received an email whose subject was, "Admissions Offer Correction" or soemthing to that effect. I was like "holy crap! They changed their minds!"
