Dealing with a Ding - Webinar Recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=echqdCOW7cM Dealing with a Ding.pdf USCMarshall,430055814720540672,600

after the long wait , received the invite and interviewed on 28th Feb with Ken from Adcom. I must say this was one of the best interviews I gave and the discussion was really focused on my work experience . I was impressed with the questions that Ken came out with w.r.t my work profile. Now it is a short wait , as I was informed that I would have a decision on 15th March.

Anyone who had to send 3 preferences for interview dates and received an interview after the 15th of March? I'm an R2 applicant and I have been alloted a slot to interview on the 21st!! My preferences were 6th, 7th and 12th

That's strange. Admissions decisions will be released on March 15th. Maybe they will let you know at the end of your interview whether you are in or not.

Now it finally (sort of) makes sense to me why they have a "Notification Begins" date when every other school I've seen has a "Decision posted/ emailed by" or "Decision Notification" date.

Update : Sent Sylvia a mail to confirm. I am in Round 2, but with a delayed interview (and in turn delayed decision) because of the high volume of applications. I don't know how to take this.

I don't know if it's due to a high volume of applications... when in a P&Q article a few months ago said their applications weren't that great this year. I just think that USC is really disorganized.

I was really bothered by the entire process of the USC application, interview scheduling and interview itself. Good school, but damn that level of disorganization at the very first contact with prospective students makes it VERY hard to invest 100k into an education there
