Calling USC MBA.PM and UCLA FEMBA 2011 Applicants!!

Yep, I concur

Calling all USC Marshall MBA.PM Class of 2014!!!! Here's our facebook group page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id= ... 03283&ap=1

Hi Everyone,

First, congrats to all that got accepted at either (or both) USC or UCLA!!

I applied to both the MBA.PM and FEMBA programs for round 2. Just found out yesterday that I got wait listed at USC. Anyone else in the same boat? I'm really not sure what this means, haven't been able to contact the admissions office yet. If anyone can add color it would be much appreciated.

Thanks all!

Thanks Socal. Anyway to make the page a group?

Not sure how. I googled but doesn't seem like I can change it. I think that I would have to create a new group page. Any suggestions?

Hello All,

Congrats to all the applicants (admitted, WL, Declined, yet to be notified). We have all made a HUGE commitment in the MBA application process and if you are even thinking about getting a Masters Degree, you are an overachiever.

I have just been admitted to the USC.PM program this morning. Extremely excitied and relieved that I got the phone call! I am decidiing between matriculating into either USC.PM or the Columbia MSRED program. (sidenote: i have a startup so I can work remotely, therefore the location of my Masters program is not as important)

I will be making my decision soon but if I enroll into USC I hope to network and meet all of you.

Cheers,

james

Congrats, james! Yep, hopefully we will be able to meet you, as well

Hi Lamba

I have been waitlisted too.

I am not sure how long the wait is .. Have u applied to the LA or the OC campus.

For those who have been wait listed or have not received a decision from the AdComs, please hang in there, and hopefully all of you will hear some good news soon.

Congrats to those accepted already.

Just got my USC MBA.PM application in over the weekend. Looking forward to what I hope is a fairly quick turnaround.

GMAT: 680
GPA: 3.36 (if I remember correctly)
Work experience: 9 years in IT, mostly in a manufacturing environment
Undergrad: Biz Mgt
Age: 26

USC: Rejected on 4/6
UCLA: Still waiting as of 4/11

Hi Aks1234,

I applied to the LA campus (live downtown).

I was able to speak to the admissions office and they encouraged me to send them an email stating my continued interest in the program. I emailed them last week and received confirmation today that my status has been updated. If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend sending them an email. It may help them reconcider your application once they've determined that they can take on more students.

Hope this helps, best of luck.

Guys.. still waiting for the decision from UCLA R2... I am a little scared now... has UCLA sent any dings yet or just success stories?

Same, still waiting for round 2 FEMBA decision... Does anyone know if they save all the dings for the deadline???

Lamba,

Based on my experience with the full-time program at USC, I think they save all the dings for the deadline. I was dinged and didn't find out until the deadline. Furthermore, I didn't hear of anyone getting dinged before the deadline. Although, it could just be that the people who got dinged didn't want to share that news on a forum.

There's still plenty of time though. There were plenty of people getting good news days before the deadline. I'm right there with you, waiting to hear from UCLA FEMBA. Fingers crossed and best of luck!

Hi gflores1,

I think you are right. I also haven't heard of anyone getting dinged before the deadline. Either way, I'm still holding on to hope that I might hear something before the May 4th.

On a side note, can someone tell me how to reply directly to another user's response?? I haven't figured it out yet! Thanks!

Hi LAMBA,

You can send private message "PM" by clicking on the "PM" button below the person's message. Please let me know if you are still having issues sending a PM.

Good luck on the admittance everyone!
