Count me in for R2. I didn't know Marshall requires TOEFL. Driving 6 hours to san luis on 21st for an early morning appointment. I hope they get my score before its too late.

Tell me about it! I am an alumni and have submitted TOEFL score to them once. Have to do it again! Driving from LA to Bakersfield to take the test this Saturday

That does not sound right.
From their website: "All international applicants who did not earn a bachelor’s degree from a university in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand must submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic. We do not accept scores from the International English Language Testing System( IELTS) exam."

just saw an available date in LA on 15th. Changed my appointment .. 60$ more .. I'm happy don't have to drive 6 hours

For essay #2, I wanted to talk about clubs and networking with companies etc. However, I thought again about the question, and I believe they are looking for me to explain how my various internship or work experiences will enhance the MBA community.
Do you guys think I concluded it right here? I did not submit my application yet.

Essay 2: How will other USC Marshall MBA students benefit from your background, experience, leadership and teamwork skills? (500 words)
Although many applicants end their career goals essay discussing the contributions they would make to a school’s program, USC Marshall’s new second essay question specifically asks candidates to address the ways in which they can give back to the school. This prompt is fairly broad, but applicants should remember to select unique information about their backgrounds, experiences, leadership and teamwork skills to help them stand out to the adcom. Rather than simply addressing how they will contribute to courses, applicants should think of other avenues through which their skills and past experiences would allow them to benefit their fellow students at USC Marshall, i.e. clubs, programs. In such a short essay, it’s probably best to focus your discussion to two or three topics. The emphasis on leadership and teamwork indicates that candidates focus their essay on benefitting other students through collaboration and effective leadership.

Does anyone know the specific letter of recommendation questions?

I'm with you...I didn't see a place for extracurriculars. I might add it to additional documents. As for the transcripts, i put it under the schools, NOT in the additional documents. WHy did you put it there?

I included extra-curriculars in my resume, I didn't really do a separate list. My transcript went into the Education section underneath where I enter data for schools.
