I hate to tell you this but their are slackers at every level. On your first day of class after the introductions, observe everyone and make a mental note of who you want to work with. God willing they won't have you doing all the work.

Don't be too nervous about the GMAT. If you can take a prep course, do it; it might ease your fears. Otherwise, head down to Barnes & Noble and buy a prep book, set up your own study schedule, stick with it and practice, practice, practice. You are truly blessed, highly favored, and you can do it.

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 diverse 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.

The history of The Consortium is a rich one replete with scores of success stories. It began just one year after the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, against a backdrop of civil unrest, with one man’s extraordinary vision. Professor Sterling Schoen of Washington University in St. Louis envisioned a cooperative program that would develop African American male MBAs. Professor Schoen dared to pursue his dream by first determining that his idea was a viable one. He sought and won an award for the project from The Sloan Foundation to conduct a feasibility conference. Sixty influential educators and leaders from the African American community participated in the conference and determined that such a program was both feasible and necessary. The Consortium was established in 1966 as an innovative program designed to hasten the entry of African American men into management positions in business.

The inaugural Consortium class consisted of 21 African American men and the organization was supported by 27 corporate sponsors. After 1970, in keeping with the progressive philosophy on which the organization was founded, the mission evolved to include women and, shortly thereafter, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans.

As a forward thinking organization committed to inclusion, we strive at all times to be responsive to the dictates of the current educational, business and political environments. Consequently, we reached another historic juncture in June 2005 when our mission evolved to include, as applicants, all U.S. citizens and permanent residents who can demonstrate a commitment to The Consortium’s mission. All applicants, regardless of race or ethnicity, must be able to demonstrate this commitment. We are convinced that through this more inclusive approach, we will reach our ultimate goal of full representation of underrepresented minorities in MBA programs and American business in a more effective and efficient manner. We firmly believe that diversity is an American opportunity – not a legal or political issue.
