I am also applying for PM. Just received the email invite for the optional video interview. Has anyone else received this yet? Are you planning on providing a video interview?

I also rec'd email invite--got it yesterday. I am not submitting. At an MBA fair a few months ago here in downtown, the USC rep said that they are strictly optional.

For PM applicants, do you think Dec 1 (a Saturday) notifications mean that we may found out this Friday Nov 30 instead?

I do not believe so for a couple reasons. I went to the information session the other night and they said those in the first group would find out "the first week" of December. Also, the optional video interview says they are due by November 30th - would find it hard to believe they would make any announcements before reviewing all the video interviews. But I could very well be wrong.

Live Essay Writing Workshop, presented by Admissionado


Sigh. The MBA Application essays. Who thought it was a good idea to ask people to write 2000 words before they even get INTO school? Turns out, it doesn’t matter, because someone did… and now you have to come up with the most compelling and memorable essays about leadership that you can. And then do it again for every school you apply to.

It’s not easy, but this upcoming event should help. Submit your MBA Application essay to have an opportunity to have it reviewed for free by the team at Admissionado. Three essays will be selected, and if you are one of the lucky ones, you will have the opportunity to go through your essay with Phillip Herring (admissions expert and CBS MBA) in a live session. You will need to be OK with sharing your essay with attendees (don’t worry – we’ll keep your name/private info out of it), and available and online at the time of the event to chat it up with Phillip. Even if you aren’t selected, listen in, because there will still be plenty of essay advice to go around.

Submit your essay to lauren@admissionado.com by Monday, December 3. You will find out if you are selected by Wednesday, December 5. Then join the live event on Thursday, December 6 at 6pm PST. Register Now [FREE!]

I called the admissions office last week, when there were some technical difficulties with my video submission. (I didn't receive any confirmation they received it.) The lady gave some helpful information:

She said barely any MBA.PM candidates submit the optional video, and because admissions only has to review a few videos they will send out decisions on December 1st (Saturday) for those who submitted about 4 to 6 weeks earlier. She said we should expect an email. I hope she's right! I'm tired of waiting!

I had issues with my video also. It was submitted the monday after i received the invite, and i had confirmation that everything went through. However, LIkelive deleted my video during their maintenance.

Has any mba.pm candidates heard anything back yet?

I submitted my app in early November for MBA.PM and I have not heard anything other than the email with my USC ID Number. I'm not sure if I'll hear this month or next; I'm certainly anxious though.
