USC MACC interview coming up--pretty scared

I don't know I don't need to take summer classes.

They don't offer scholarship awards for the summer. They told me the tuition is already reduced so they only offer it for the fall/spring.

Thanks for the info

Posted from my mobile device

hello everyone, thanks for all your help.

I went in for interview with Jenna last Friday, and I found out today through online that I am admitted into the MBT Fall 2010, Full Time program!

Thank you everyone!

Congratulations!

I have a question for everyone who got in.

Did you guys write thank-you letters after the interview? I always hear that you should, but I have also heard that it could be a little too much. I am curious whether you guys wrote thank-you letters to your interviewer?

Well, I write thank you emails after all my interviews. But I got my acceptance email from USC less than 2 days after my interview, and I actually hadn't had a chance to even send my thank you yet... sooo... I doubt it makes a huge difference... but you probably should one just to be polite & professional.

I usually just email them because the mail can be slow. Just make it superdetailed tlo specific things you talked about in the interview

for anyone who got in, there is a facebook group for USC MAcc/MBT Class of 2011
here is the link
i cant post any link here yet, just go to facebook and search USC Macc/MBT Class of 2011

Hey guys,

What are my chances of getting in? Here are my stats:

gmat: 590 with 5.5 awa
UCLA extension gpa: 3.6
Undergrad at UCSD economics: 2.8
Passed AUD and REG (expected to pass all four CPA exams by summer)

- completed an internship with a mid-sized firm for 2009 tax season
- 3 years of work experience with Fortune 500 company as an analyst

* Just found out that my professor still has not submitted a rec letter. Contacted Jenna from USC and she said the submission is "probably not necessary at this point".

I know my stat isn't as strong as most of you... but I am hoping my experience and CPA exams make up for it. =) I applied towards the end of the deadline and now I'm getting really nervous about getting accepted since USC is the only school I applied for.

Just take it easy!

Hey Guys,

I have a 2.99 GPA undergraduate GPA (2.90 Business administration). I have passed all 4 sections of the CPA exam and have 1.5 years of experience working as a corporate accountant/financial analyst working on solar project models. I plan on taking the GMAT in March and am hoping to get above 700 on the test.

Do you guys think my low GPA will prevent me from getting in or even getting an interview or will a high GMAT be able to compensate for this. Also how should I go about saying I am going to USC for the education when I have already passed all 4 sections of the CPA exam? How will the factor of passing all sections affect me if at all?

For those who have gone through this process please let me know what you think.

FYI, this thread is almost 3 years old. I would repost your question in a totally new thread so that everyone can see you question more easily.

There are really too many factors to be considered to tell you about how your GPA will affect your chances. To be clear though, there are many people that have gotten into top schools with low GPA's. Not only can the GMAT help you overcome that, but every other part of your application. A 2.99 is not a death sentence at all. Plus, the farther you get away from undergrad, the less your GPA matters. You also have your CPA, which is a plus, and in most cases will allow you to skip some classes when you get your MBA.

For you to get a better answer I would pose your question here ask-admission-consultants-124/ and give as much info as you can. Include:

Age
Work experience
Desired schools
GMAT score
GPA
Extracurriculars
Etc....

With this information, you will get great responses. Also, you mentioned that you are planning on getting a 700. With the GMAT being such an important part of your application, it is hard to say how you application will look without having it completed yet. A 700 is no easy task, and could take 100s of hours of studying. It might be worth while putting all your effort towards the GMAT, and start considering the rest of your application once you have that in the bag. 700+ in 90th percentile and above, you're competing with talented individuals from around the world. the difference between a 650 and 700 is large, but may only be a few questions on test day. Give us some more info, put your post in the right area, and I'm sure you'll get some great advice.

Also, to help show you that you can have success, here is an example of admissions with low GPAs. profiles-admitted-to-top-b-schools-w-low-gmat-or-low-gpa-73999.html?kudos=1 and here low-undergrad-gpa-success-stories-79977.html Do a search on GMAT club, there are plenty of places to see advice and boost your confidence. Good luck!
