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.

I don't think I'll get drafted. I may have to tryout as a walk-on.

Just ding me already. I don't need a formal letter. Hell, I'll take a three-letter email: You are dinged!! That will suffice. I don't need a general letter that goes out to all applicants that says how great we are but there just wasn't room for us. This year there are many wonderful applicants., blah blah blah. I'm okay with the email. Anyway, what use do I have for formal letter? Maybe I'll hang it on my wall for all the world to see.

I applied R2 to NYU, Yale, Dartmouth, UT Austin, Darden

Has anyone heard from them? I know only NYU is requiring an interview but have people gotten interview invites or decision letters from other schools yet? Is there a date where we can expect to hear from them? It's unclear whether you will be contacted with a decision prior to the March 1st meeting and I'm getting antsy lol. I wish they were more like HBS or UPenn. They were clear that Feb 16 and Feb 18 was judgement day so people wouldn't hold their breathe any longer.

Ahh yes I have the Yale date marked on my calendar lol. I wondering if it is safe to assume that if you don't hear before March 1st then you're out of the running for a fellowship.

Absolutely. When I was there for JMB, it really just appealed to me. I visited every school on my profile list and they all had strong programs and great opportunities, but I did not feel the sense of community that I felt at Johnson. I have a toddler and an infant, and you know the saying - "It takes a village..."

Does anyone know how sensitive cornell is to rankings? I ranked tuck number 1 and cornell number 2... I was waitlisted at tuck and got into cornell.... How will this factor on my fellowship?

I think all of these schools are sensitive to rankings. They may not admit it, but its only logical. They are protecting their yields (% of admitted students who matriculate). The only time they may give way is when they believe that you are not getting into your top ranked school and you ranked them #2 or 3. Interestingly though, Ross is blind in their applicant evaluation, until it comes time to fellowship decision. That's my two cents worth.
