Hey guys, does Marshall accept a 3 year bachelors degree (15 years education)?? Appreciate the help..

This is an excerpt of an email I received from Marshall back in September -

Per the Marshall School of Business MBA Admissions requirements, all applicants must have received the equivalent of a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. While it is possible for some universities to provide an equivalent 4-year degree in only 3 years, USC cannot make any determinations to an applicant’s eligibility until a completed application is received. As such, it is up to each individual applicant to determine whether they would like to apply even with the possibility that their degree might make them ineligible for the USC Marshall School of Business MBA Program.

With this in mind, I would encourage you to get in touch with them to exact more information. Hope this helps.

I am an Indian applicant and have not received an interview invite yet. Any idea whether they are done with sending interview invites or is there still some hope left?

Has anyone received invites this week? Folks only reported them on Friday. I am worried that they're already finished sending interview invites for R1.

Hey guys!

Who all got the interview invites, do you guys see the status on online portal or receive an email? The reason I ask this coz I just got an email saying "Thankyou for submitting the application, please keep monitoring the online portal for further decisions". I submitted my application on Oct 15th

Hey Singhal0389,

I also received a similar email from the admissions committee that says -
Thank you for submitting an application to the USC Marshall Full Time MBA Program for Round 1!

As a reminder, international applicants are required to submit the following documents in order to be officially admitted. Without these documents on file, an I-20 cannot be issued.

Official transcripts* (Mail to the MBA Admissions Office)
Official GMAT/GRE score
Official language test score (TOEFL, or IELTS), if applicable
Copy of your passport (email to [email protected])
Financial Statement (email to [email protected])

I am not sure what that means at this stage because i submitted all the required information and received a confirmation from the admissions committee saying that all the material has been received by the admissions committee.

@ everyone - I am an Indian applicant and can see from the thread that many Indian applicants have received an interview invite. So, shall I still be hopeful? Has anyone else also received similar email from them?

Thanks
Akshay Mathur

@akshay4110...Did you submit Financial Statement on email and Transcript through postal mail?

The Indians invited thus far are staying in US. Any Indian applicant staying in India received an invite?

Hi,
Thanks for your sharing that information. I also wrote to the admissions office after receiving the mail. I will share once I receive a reply. Any Idea until when Internationals ( specially Indians) can receive the interview invite?
Even previous year's threads don't have answer for that question!!
