Nothing yet... I'm speculating nothing will be done till the week of the 20th as thats the week prior to the final notification deadline but who knows as June 30 was supposed to be the decision date for the May 1 apps and I was wait listed May 23rd.

Hi Friends,

Anyone, from any round, who has been placed on USC MBA.PM wait-list and got admitted later?

Desperately need to know what extra work you have done to turn around your status.

Thanks,
Brandon

Sorry guys for the late reply. I couldn't log in due to technical reasons.

Thanks for your insight in choosing between Georgetown and USC. Actually, I was inclined to choose Georgetown because I thought I would have better chances in consulting there. However, I am offered an admission from Cornell at the end of May and I accepted this offer. So, I will be in Ithaca for the next two years. :-D

This means, one more spot would be opened in Georgetown and USC.

Good luck to all wait listed applicants!
:-D

Thanks!

My interviewer e-mailed me with a request to call, and during the call I found out.

Need to start working on housing, etc now!

I recently applied for the MBA.PM program right before round 4 July 1 deadline. I haven't heard anything back yet, and I am getting a little anxious since Orientation starts July 31. I hope they don't plan on notifying me a day or two before.

Also I’m not so sure about my chances of getting in... Based on the comments I've read on this board it seems like slim-to-none with applying in such a late round, even though my stats are right in line with the class profile. I called their admissions office before I applied, and they told me I still had an equal chance of getting admitted as long as spaces are available - so not to wait until next year...

If anyone else has applied this late please let me know what your experiences are, if any, and also if you have any insight in general… Thanks!
