Hello Future Trojans! I will be attending USC Marshall this fall and would love to be a resource for you throughout the application process. Feel free to reach out via this thread to share your questions and updates with the Marshall applicant community. Fight On!

Thanks for sharing, do you mind posting your stats?

No I don't think so. Marshall seems to be painfully slow

Hi Guys, Apologies for the delayed response. I had received my invite on 13th Nov and my interview is scheduled for 2nd Dec.

Hi guys, I have another questions regarding the admission. I've heard a rumor saying that it is harder to get in if you go for R3 because of the quota limit. Is it true? (simply because more students have been admitted in R1 and R2) and Is it possible to send the official GMAT score later than the admission deadline? thx for the help guys )

Sure, I'm currently working in bus dev/project mgmt in the maritime/oil & energy industry. I've been working abroad for the past year. 4 years working experience (upon matriculation) 710 GMAT, Q42 V44 IR8 AWA 4.0 Graduated from top 50 US university with a 3.36 in political science Lots of involvement in uni, now volunteering at orphanages, organizing meetup groups for hiking trips, etc. I don't have a standout profile, but the one thing that has given my application a boost is that my former supervisor (who wrote one of my rec letters) was a Trojan grad and the leader of his alumni association chapter, as well as a member of the Board of Governors for several years. USC really values legacy and alumni opinions, so I think this is what helped me get a shoe in the door.

I'm not sure if this has been replied to yet, but I am a current first year student. Ask away and I'll do my best to answer! Greekmythology : This is a very small list, but these are some of the companies I know have come through campus so far: IBM, PayPal, SGN, Blizzard Entertainment, EA, Riot Games, Ericsson, Universal Studios, Paramount, Warner Bros., Mattel, Nestle, DC Entertainment, Live Nation, Yahoo!, DirecTv, Princess Cruises, Kaiser Permanente, Amgen, Johnson & Johnson, Toms, etc. etc. The big internship recruiting event is in January, so I'll have to report back then. In fact, I'm actually running my own startup right now and doing the entrepreneurial/tech thing. Also, I'm not sure about consulting. I can try to find out for you, though. Can't tell you just yet about jobs, but the Trojan Network is great. I just had a fun time last month at a USC-only event in Vegas with an alumni from the Trojan Network. Can't complain there.

Sounds great. . I think it would be a great place to go. Its hard to get back to cali once you leave. ( Just visited a friend in chicago and wow I forgot how cold the east coast is). My only real concern with USC is their job placement rate but Ill take a visit before R2 deadline to check it out.

It's very hard to get back here, I was gone for almost 5 years after going to CA for undergrad too. Definitely stop by for a visit, we have some great ambassadors who will show you around.
