Hello everyone,
I had heard that there is no application fee for applying to full-time MBA program at USC Marshall, however I see a 155 USD fee on the application page.
Have they started charging a fee from this year?

And with no mention of a fee waiver, this might drastically affect the number of applications they would receive.

Hi. It looks like they changed it this year. They must have gotten enough applicants or perhaps figured they need the budget to cover the administrative cost.
I have updated our tracker for fees: https://gmatclub.com/forum/list-of-all- ... 67465.html

Are people here able to access their GMAT scores? My score was visible a few weeks ago but is not visible now. I appeared for it in December 2023.

Hi guys,
I wanted clarity on two things that I have come across while filling my application for USC Marshall full time MBA program.
One is the Supervisor details and other is the permission to contact the organization as I am afraid of the implications that there will be in case I chose to inform about my future plans to my organization without an admission offer.

Can anyone advise as how may I proceed further

To get an application fee waiver from USC Marshall, follow these steps:

– send an email to “gradadmissions@marshall.usc.edu” using the title “Application Fee Waiver” and briefly explain your reason(s)

– your request will be logged and within a short while, you will receive a link to a form. On the form, you will fill in some details such as your name, email address, program type, test score, and a copy of your resume

– within 5 business days, you will receive an approval / denial notice. If approved, you will be asked to upload a copy of the approval notice via another link which will be provided in the same email

– you will then receive a one-time coupon code which you will apply at the point of submission.

I just learnt about the information, so thought to share.

Good luck everyone!

Does Marshall require official test scores before the application decision? This is what their website says -
"All admissions decisions are made by the Admissions Committee based on unofficial test scores that are uploaded into the online application"

But it also says "All candidates will need to submit official test scores (provided to USC by the testing service). To save time, applicants should, at the time of test registration, have the testing service(s) forward the official, confidential school report using the following institution codes:"
