Anyon else here who can tell whether the interview is done by one admissions consulant or two?

It seems like they're generally done by 2 members, unless you interview with a 2yr student.

Thanks for letting me know... now I am even more scared.. one person is less formal, two person panel is a little scary.. do you know if they ask any tricky questions?

I really didn't mind the two person interview. My experience was very positive and it gives you the opportunity to gain two advocates for your application.

I interviewed with a student, but it was a breeze...no trick questions and very conversational.

However, I'd agree with ebonn101, I think having 2 adcom members arguing on your behalf is an advantage. I wouldn't worry too much about the interview...Marshall seems to embrace the laid-back SoCal culture...

Thanks for your input.. I hope that my interview with the adcoms ends up being conversational and breezy as well. I guess I am nervous because this is the only interview I have received so far and I am really keen on joining Marshall. I had a choice between choosing Super Saturday interview and a regular one, I am assuming if I had gone with a former, a student would have interviewed me..it's too late now but I wish I had gone with that.. oh well!

I think they still have another round of Saturday interviews on the 24th, so you could probably reschedule if you really wanted to, but honestly, I think you'll be fine. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions...my interview wasn't that long ago so it's all still pretty fresh in my mind.

The next Super Saturday is on the 24th, a week before the decision release. Good luck!

Fingers crossed for everyone!

Any R3 applicants?

Also my dad went to USC Marshall for his MBA. I know there was a question on the app asking if any relatives or siblings went to USC. Is there any benefit to that?

There's always a benefit to having family associated with the school...even more so when it's the same program you're interested in...

Were they undergrad? or MBA?

I keep hearing that sometimes it is beneficial and other times they don't really care.
