Marshall 2013 (USC) - Calling All Applicants

Does anyone have any suggestions for housing? I have a wife and kid, so I'm prolly looking for a 2/2 apartment thats fairly nice. I don't mind paying, but would love to live as close to on campus as possible. Any advice would be great.

I got an email on the day I was waitlisted asking me to complete additional coursework, which I did, and was told that I would be considered again in Round 2. I think this is unusual though. I would definitely recommend staying on their radar though, so if you have any updates like a promotion, volunteer experience, or a class, send 'em an email now. Fingers crossed for you, peejay!

Thank you so much, rena2013!

I didn't even get an email to check my application update the day decisions came out. I got to know I was waitlisted only when I logged into the portal. I haven't heard anything from the adcom since, I'm guessing since my waitlist is without an interview.

Please do let me know in case you get any updates from them. And good luck to you as well

I'm a round 1 waitlistee (w/ interview) and the last email I have from USC adcom was confirming my interview in December. I'm hoping something with happen in April, but I have no reason to believe it will. I spoke to a current student that was admitted from the waitlist, and she was admitted TWO WEEKS before school started. So don't give up hope, but also don't sign a new lease in your apartment, I guess...

I'm also considering asking them to take me off the waitlist and transfer my application to the EMBA program before the June 1st deadline...but I don't want to ask any questions before then, because I'm afraid they'll think I'm not as interested in the full-time program and ding me. I can see the upsides to both programs, and really want to go to USC...but I'm not sure the adcom will see it quite like that. Does anybody have any insight into a situation like this?

Interviewed with a first year student on campus yesterday. It was pretty informal, he asked me
- Walk me thru ur resume
- Why Marshall
- What do you wanna do after Marshall
- What clubs would you like to join at Marshall
- Tell me a time when you resolved a conflict on the team, if it's resolved at all
- Tell me about a time when you didn't reach your goal
- What motivates you?
- Do you have any questions for me?

Hope this helps R3 folks

What's the earliest date I can expect to hear from Marshall after an interview last Sat? The conversation itself went in a pretty lovely way but.... Still a nerve-racking process to way... Also should I expect any phone calls? I'm R2 by the way. Good luck to all!

All R1 applicants were notified of their decision on the published decision date. If admission behavior in the first round is any indication of that in the second, you are going to have to sit tight for just a few more days until Friday 4/5/13.

Applied for admission Round 2 and interviewed on March 13th. When can Round 2 applicants expect their statuses to be updated on Friday? I'm starting to get really really nervous!

Waitlisters were contacted beginning around 8AM PST with acceptances starting to roll out in the late morning (no ding reports). I didn't receive a call until 2PM PST with others contacted even later into the evening. Refer to pages 6-8 of this thread for a Round 1 decision date play-by-play.

I just got the papers for Admitted Student Weekend. Is anyone going? Is it worth attending? Anyone have any feedback?

Thanks! Actually I did check 2012 Fall R2 and there wew some calls coming out earlier than decision date ( then 4.1 ). Just realize that I really have raised my expectations...

Just got a call! In for R2
Good luck to everyone waiting!

wow they are calling already? congrats!

Nice work, washguy!

It looks round 2 admission decisions have started to roll out a bit early. Good luck to all R2 applicants!

Damn. I am nervous now after I am waitlisted by Cornell this morning...

Hope everyone gets a good result.

Where are you located? Do you mind sharing that? thx

And is it possible if I don't get a phone call , but I still get in by checking online??
