Congrats to those who've started receiving calls and positive news!
There's a few of us that are really active on this thread that I'm sure would love to get you up to speed on our general decision thoughts (scroll back!) and Admit Weekend activities you may have missed. And there is of course a pretty spiffy welcome site + FB group that I'm sure you'll soon have access to.
Welcome and FIGHT ON!

Thanks everyone!
So my story goes something like this: 4 years of experience, working at the New York office of a Chinese investment bank, doing equity sales & trading. Undergrad I did engineering at Georgia Tech (how I went from engineering to equity sales is a whole other story).
I originally was planning to apply to schools for entry in 2015, but our team underwent a massive restructuring earlier this year and I decided to apply R3 while my references were still relevant and I still... had a job. I had a short amount of time to take GMATs and write essays, but my biggest hurdle was a very dismal sub-3.0 undergrad GPA. I applied to schools all over, but I had a big preference for the west coast schools. From the get-go, I really liked Marshall, but my boss is a UCLA alum and tried to steer me that direction. However, UCLA reminds me ALOT of Georgia Tech, where I had a very underwhelming undergraduate experience.
I interviewed at USC on May 15 and I immediately loved the school. I got along great with my interviewer and we could have talked for hours if not for the fact that he had another applicant coming in. As a Chinese broker, I take Chinese corporates marketing in SF/LA a lot and have visited UCLA/UCB/Stanford enough times to be a tour guide. However, this was my first visit to USC and it was super hectic as the entire campus was setting up for graduation ceremonies.
Since then, I have read this entire thread and learned a wealth of valuable information. So today I'm sitting at my desk at work when my phone lights up with a 213 number......
Currently I have still yet to hear back from Anderson and am on the waitlist at Ross, but it doesn't matter anymore. I made up my mind way back that its going to be USC.

Hello everyone! my first post on this forum
Got the email notice from Marshall today and I am in too! The decision was also posted on the online system. Round 3 applicant, interviewed on May 6. Does anyone know the date for orientation? As I am an international applicant, I hope I still have enough time to prepare
