USC Marshall 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Here's my interview experience:

I interviewed on campus last week. I got on campus and it was like a summer (in the high 70's or 80's i'd suspect) day. I was about an hour early so I decided to walk around the campus. Due to the school still being on Christmas break, it was a rather empty campus with occasional campus tours for prospective undergrads passing by.

Here's my tip: Don't walk around campus too much in hot weather wearing a 3-piece suit before the interview.

When I finally got back, I was heating up. And it's the middle of January, they don't have the A/C on...you'll be interviewing while wiping sweat off your forehead with tissue paper

anyways...as far as the interview went

it was very casual. I only have the Johnson interview to compare to, but in comparison it was VERY casual. I was interviewed by 2 admissions officers.

I went over my resume followed by 'why marshall' question. then I asked them some questions and at the very end they asked me 'what's a misconceptions others have about you?' before i left.

Overall, it was a very laid back experience (i'm not sure if it's a california thing or a marshall thing) and i thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hey everyone,
I just submitted my application for round 2 last week.
I applied through the Consortium so I have mostly been participating on that board but figured I might should hop on here as well, say hi and keep you updated on everything.

Some more stats not on my profile:
Took GRE instead of GMAT V160/170 Q162/170
2 years full-time international volunteer exp.
Bilingual - French
3 years WE at national medical laboratory

Good luck to everyone!

Hi Marshall applicants! FYI if you're applying to USC-Marshall through the Consortium Graduate Study in Management (CGSM), hop over to the Consortium 2012 Forum and Update Your Profile to join the Consortium roll call.

It's simple. Just select your school as "Consortium, the", then indicate which specific institution(s) you'll be applying to, make sure your application cycle is 2011-2012 and the Consortium round (CGSM1 or CGSM2) you applied in. You can do all of this easily through the handy 'Add to Your Schools' link on the front page of the Consortium 2012 Forum.

We have a special analytics specifically for those candidates applying via Consortium and lots of conversation specific to Consortium candidates and the school(s) they are applying to.

Come and join the conversation! Cheers!

Going to submit application on Sunday, Oh ya

Anybody else interviewing tomorrow? My interview is at 2pm.

Does anyone know if USC Marshall is doing a Kroll background check or something similar for Fall 2012 applicants?

Thanks!

Submitted! Good luck everyone! I loved this app...I thought the questions were great and allowed us to get our personality out there in a meaningful way.

Does anyone know if the essays are to be submitted in one document?

I submitted on one document, starting each question on a new page. You can see the PDF printout of the final application in its entirety before you submit.

Fantastic. Thank you!

Just submitted for Round 2!

submitted for R2!! atb guys!!

Congrats and good luck to everyone!

any round 2 applicants got an interview invite!!? or any updates!!!?

Good luck everyone! I went to USC for undergrad and absolutely loved it. The school, professors, alumni, and LA-community have so much to offer. I was even just on campus last night grabbing a few drinks with a couple other alumni before a meeting.

I checked this thread to see what happend in Round 1...it seems the notification date held true...so I wouldn't expect anything until Feb 15, unfortunately.

too bad. Thanks for the update.....
