Calling all USC Marshall MBA Applicants: 2021 Intake(Class of 2023)

Hey. Am in the same boat as you... but did they start to roll out invites? Really? From the decision tracker, I cant see any admits so far.

Admits or did you mean invites? I've heard of few people getting invites already

Exactly my point fall2021.
I was responding to KyleM125

I understood the confusion, the one admit in tracker is a deferral candidate from last year who updated their admit now, so far no one has been admitted, only interview invites

any idea on which consulting firms recruit on campus? do MBB, kearney, lek or Oliver wyman recruit?

Is there any data on the percentage of applicants that are admitted after being interviewed?

Did we have to do anything after receiving the 10digit id from usc? No right?

Hey dudes, I wrote up my interview experience on clearadmit but figured I'd crosspost it to here. Hope it helps!

As a preface, this is my first and only interview for Round 1 of the Fall 2021 intake. I did two MBA interviews last year and ultimately deferred to this cycle, so I do have some experience. With that said, the interview was friendly as Grace Kim, the director of admissions, is a great interviewer. It is noticeable that she is at least using a mental list of questions if not following a prompt, which makes the interview less conversational, but she did work in a good amount of personal questions as follow-ups to my answers.

The interview lasted 39 minutes, so it did go over but I took that in stride since she asked a lot of questions about my resume. She started by saying it was a blind interview, that she had a copy of my resume, and asked me to give her a quick rundown of my professional experience. This progressed into the following questions:

1. She asked about my leadership among each role I have performed.
2. She asked about why I want an MBA.
3. Because I said consulting, she asked why consulting and if I knew what type I wanted to do.
4. She asked for my long-term goals specifically 10-15 years down the road.
5. She went back to my experience and asked about a time I faced a challenge as a leader.
6. Based on 5, she asked what I did and how I changed my leadership to avoid that challenge in the future.
7. Based on 5, she asked how my team would speak to my improvement.
8. I attended language school for the military, so she asked why I chose my language.
9. She asked why Marshall.
10. I forget the way she worded it, but her final question essentially was to describe a way that people see myself that is inaccurate.

She gave me the opportunity to ask questions even though we were beyond the time limit. All in all, good interview. Sent my thank you email today and she mentioned that Round 1 decisions are somewhat rolling, so results should be out at the earliest in mid-Nov but more than likely in Dec. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the detailed debrief

Anyone know if Marshall invites have been flowing? I haven’t seen much movement. Does the online status change when they review the file?

I don't see much movement on the decision tracker either. The last interview update was on October 30th. Did you apply in Round 1?

Yes, I applied R1. Waiting patiently but it's hard lol

I also applied R1. Got my interview invite 4 days ago, on 14th Nov.

Thanks. Did you send in official transcripts or just unofficial? I saw on clearadmit that they asked someone for official transcripts.

That was me. I dont know why they asked for some original because i uploaded five unofficial but they only asked for two.

I hope they start releasing some info soon. If you look at the release dates from last year, we're already behind schedule.
