Great response. Since I coauthored the...Hey Motown! Great response. Since I coauthored the blog post that inspired this entry, I figured I should comment. I want to be clear that I 100% support the Consortium mission and feel that it's a necessary organization. Being only one of three black female admitted students at an ASW last weekend let me see just how underrepresented we are. However, I stand by my statements that the full-tuition fellowship that accompanies many people's Consortium membership is sometimes (not always) treated like an entitlement. There are very few people, no matter what their race may be, who are unconcerned about the cost of an MBA. I do not think we are unique in our desire to get some help from the schools to reduce the price tag. What bothered me was some people's insistence that a school "make it rain." Statements like that don't come off as honored or grateful, just entitled. To see someone turn his nose up at a $20K scholarship like it's nothing is disturbing. Granted it may not be enough to make a school affordable but to call it "bullshit" is out of line. Add to this that this same candidate has significant weaknesses in their profile and it does raise a red flag. It's disturbing to sit down with potential applicants and tell them to shoot for a 700+ GMAT only to have another URM in our company tell them, "Just get your 650 and you'll be fine. I know a bunch of people who got full rides with less than that." And yes, many of those full rides came from Consortium schools. I just think it sets a precedent that doesn't encourage us to raise our game. <br /><br />I know and fully agree that a person is more than their GPA/GMAT. The GMAT especially is not a predictor of career success. But the thing is we're not applying for jobs. We are applying to schools and the academic component of our candidacy should matter just as much as our business prowess and leadership potential. Obviously the GMAT is not the only criteria by which we should be judged, but I do think many URMs have been taught to be overly dismissive of it.<br /><br />I do understand that the schools determine who they admit and who receives their allotted Consortium fellowships. However, it's the Consortium's application that supplies their applicant pool. I have heard that a top 5 school left the Consortium and others will not join because they are not satisfied with many of the candidates that the Consortium brings them. The comments I have heard is that the Consortium brings them many borderline applicants and then expects the school to reward them with not only admission but also a full tuition scholarship. While the school can admit who they want I am very sure that a member school would NOT really reject almost all of its Consortium applicants and then not offer the fellowship to any. They are going to choose from the pool that they are given. I am not saying that there isn't a strong contingent of minority applicants who apply through the Consortium, because there is. I am saying that for some reason several top schools have taken the position that they can find more high level talent on their own.<br /><br />My point in the original blog post was that the Consortium has the right intention, lowering the barriers that keep many of us from attending top b-schools. I just think that there have been some unintended side effects that can reflect negatively on URM candidates as a whole. It is by no means indicative of the whole CGSM applicant pool, but it is there and can be addressed. While the Consortium exists to help schools increase their percentage of URM students I also think it can exist to help us raise our game too.Cheetarah1980https://www.blogger.com/profile/07030323484936160187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777079315023275207.post-50671939473325667882012-04-25T07:52:58.254-04:002012-04-25T07:52:58.254-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cheetarah1980https://www.blogger.com/profile/07030323484936160187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777079315023275207.post-5425445322494319792012-04-21T07:08:28.118-04:002012-04-21T07:08:28.118-04:00Students acquiring the Online MBA in International...Students acquiring the Online MBA in International Business will be prepared as professionals with opportunities in many professions.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mbaupdates.com/FindCourses.aspx" rel="nofollow">International MBA</a>alinsonpaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716826160816450508noreply@blogger.com
