There's always the Tweet stream..

But definitely check out the liveat.marshall.usc.edu Admissions Ambassador blogs for "official" accounts of the event. Hopefully someone will blog about admit weekend like I did last year.

@Gavin: What time was your interview? My interview was yesterday morning, probably before yours. I interviewed with her, too, and my interview was not as long - typical 30 minute interview. I felt like my interview moved along kind of quickly. Either way, sounds like you did really well and probably a shoe in!

I'm still crossing my fingers..it was my first b-school interview. I was so nervous!

My interview was yesterday, 4/23, at 2:00 pm. I had one b-school interview before for UCLA's FEMBA program. That was with a current student though. This one was much better. Shirley was a much better interviewer. I hope it went as well as I feel like it did. Good luck @anerzc. Hopefully you get good news from USC sometime in the three weeks.

Was Shirley a student?

No. Shirley is the Associate Director of MBA Admissions as USC.

Hi second year students,

Is there any scholarship available in the second year? How to apply? I didn't get any scholarship for admission, and I am wondering if there's any chance to reduce my debt.

Thanks.

Yes, second year scholarships are available, based on a combination of academic performance, extracurricular activities, and contribution to the Marshall community. Applications just went out last week, so you can probably expect the same timing for next year.

Hi Guys. From my interview, she said that they *may* give early decisions from Round 3 to allow students to attend Admit Weekend. Anyone admitted?

If not, just 15 more days until decision! Good luck everyone.

I very much enjoyed the admit weekend and frankly can't wait for school to start. I'm looking forward to avenging my team's defeat at the 30 minute case competition.

Hey guys,

Thought i'd hit up the forum and look for some pointers:

My GMAT: V: 29/53% | Q: 46/73% | AWA: 6/91% | Total 620/70%
Graduate GPA: 3.6/4.00 - chem. engg / petroleum engg. (from USC Viterbi School of Engineering)
Undergrad GPA: 3.84 /4.00 - chem. engg
Solid recos
Good enough essays
4 years of works ex at a big oil firm

Applied to MBA.PM at Marshall Class of 2015. Round 4 (May 1st deadline)

Have been invited to submitted a video interview - guess that's applicable to every candidate applying to MBA.PM.

Do I stand a chance? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

I took my interview on 26th April. Shirley told me that admissions could be released earlier than the notification date in R3. Dose anyone get updates recently?

I had my interview on the 23rd of April, also with Shirley. She told me the same about admissions possibly being released prior to the notification date. I haven't heard of anybody being updated yet though. I think we're going to have to wait until tomorrow.

Ditto what Gavin said...no news from me yet, either. Good luck, everyone!
