USC Marshall MBA.PM (2020 Intake): Calling all applicants

Have any Round 5 applicants here received an interview invite? I have not heard of anyone so far receiving one. Today is the deadline for Round 5 applications so maybe we should be expecting interview invites starting next week considering the supposed large influx of applications during Round 4?

Applied 5/16

I saw on clearadmit that someone applied on 5/2 received an interview invite last week. Not sure if he/she is applying for ft or pt tho.

For R4 & 5, I think the admissions committee is ranking the candidates into different categories and based on who made the cut offs, they get called up for interviews. If there are still spots left after R5, and no one has applied after, then they go back to see who they will need to call back to fill up some seats.

Just as a FYI have a backup plan just in case this doesn't work out - either get a better GMAT score and re-apply next year, or write a better application essay, etc. Not getting in shouldn't be the end game. Also try and not to stress out, currently there are a lot of bigger issues going on around us so try to take solace on what you can control and leave things be on what you can't. C'est la vie.

Good luck!

Did anyone who get accepted receive the Welcome Website email yet to register for prep and fill out required forms? The welcome booklet says this was supposed to arrive in May, but I haven't received anything yet

Got Waitlisted.

What are the odds and chances of getting accepted off the waitlist?

Which round did you apply?

Round 5

I was waitlisted as well. I'm curious to find out what the acceptance rate for WL applicants is too!

When did you hear back from them? I still haven’t received any news.

Hi, may I ask if you received an interview?

I heard back last night around 6 pm via email. Yes, I interviewed on May 19th with Nirav.

Thanks for the reply! So you applied to round 4 right?

I applied on May 6th (round 5).

I applied on 5/13, still haven't heard anything from them yet. T_T

applied in R4, submitted my application a few days before the deadline and had my interview last week. finger cross

Got the WL email this morning as well - applied R4, interviewed last week. Keeping my hopes up!

Hey

Same here.. R4 applicant and on WL.

I am just curious what are the chances of acceptance after being on waitlist. Few websites states 20%-50%.

Keeping fingers crossed.
