Can anyone shed some light on whether or not we should still be holding out hope? At this point I consider it a ding but it seems like there should be a few more invites seen here. I'm just speculating.

Round 1 applicant here. Here is my interview experience. It was a blind interview which means interviewer had not read my application before interview.

Was pretty generic to start with

Walk me thru resume
Why MbA
Why USC
Leadership example
My Leadership Style
Then since i Have lived in LA so she asked what did i like in LA.
What do i like to do in my spare time?
Then i mentioned about my passion for road trip, so we spoke about my recent road trips for like 5-8 minutes.

All the best to all Round 2 applicants.

Hi, I'm wondering if you interviewed with an ad com officer or a 2nd year student?
Does USC use 2nd years for interviews? Thanks.

Hi guys,

Does anyone receive the confirm time slot from Marshall after choosing the time on Doodle?

I saw in my Doodle page that location icon was Skype, do I need to send email to school to confirm that I will take the interview via video conference to receive the login information?

Thanks,
