Don't worry. My online status is still "submitted" even after the admission phone call this afternoon. I believe they do them one at a time.

Admitted today and am very excited! However, I have also been admitted to Indiana's Kelley School of Business and awarded a hefty scholarship. Though financial aid info is not yet available, I doubt that USC will match the offer that I received from Indiana. I was born, raised, and currently live in Los Angeles, and I'm specifically interested in Entrepreneurship. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two - anyone have any useful advice in choosing between the two?

Hi all, Have been a long time follower, however a first time poster today. Just got in to USC Marshall Rd 2. Super excited! Can anyone give me any updates on when can I expect to receive my acceptance binder? I am an International admit in India. Congratulations to all who were accepted and best of luck to people still waiting to hear. PS: Deposit due deadline is May 1st, right?

That's a tough one. I've done plenty of research on Marshall's entrepreneurship program and have been very impressed. However, I don't know much about Kelley's program nor its entrepreneurial strengths other than the fact that it is ranked just behind Marshall by U.S. News. USC has a long history in entrepreneurship and claims to be one of the first schools in the country to offer a specialization in this area. The entrepreneurship center, organizations, faculty and students all seem extremely involved and dedicated to this field of study. There are plenty of examples of alumni starting their own successful outfits right out of school and even a few students who took a hiatus mid-semester to pursue firms they developed while studying at Marshall. Plus, the LA/OC area is quickly becoming a new hotbed for startups. What are your short and long term goals? What industries are you interested in? Are you planning on staying in the LA area after school? Always great to see a lurker break the silence! In round 1, Indian admits received their binders 1 week after the decision date so I would expect yours to arrive next week. As for the deposit deadline, yes, May 1st is the date for round 2 admits and the damage is $2,500...

I'm planning to be there. Just got off the waitlist yesterday! Woot! Hope to meet some of you at Admit Weekend.

Always great to see a lurker break the silence! In round 1, Indian admits received their binders 1 week after the decision date so I would expect yours to arrive next week. As for the deposit deadline, yes, May 1st is the date for round 2 admits and the damage is $2,500... Thanks APEX for the update. Is there a facebook page or google group for admitted students yet? Was just wondering if people have started thinking about housing options and if yes, what would be some good resources through which the maze that LA is can be simplified a little.
