Hello all, I'm jumping in the game a little late. Still working on first draft of essays, and GMAT scheduled for next Saturday. The PRIME program looks fascinating... does anyone have experience with it?

Okay I just came back from a USC info session and I am outraged. About a month ago I sat down and wrote down the R1 deadlines for all the schools I wanted to apply to. USC.PM was listed as 12/1/11 at the time I checked. During the info session they said that they had moved it forward to 11/1/11!! I wasn't the only one who was completely shocked. Quite a few other people were surprised to find that a top 20 school would publish a deadline date, only to change it later. If I had not gone tonight I never would have known they changed it. Do I now have to check everyday to make sure they don't bump it up again?

Sorry for the rant, but that completely screws up my schedule. There were a bunch of other things that turned me off to the school. I will still be applying but USC is definitely no longer one of my top choices.

I thought the date change was a little weird. Its no big deal for me as I had already started the application and essays. I think they changed it to align with the UCLA FEMBA deadline.

Can anybody read the PDF file that explains how to attach and upload essays that is provided in the Downloadable Forms section of the application? Every time I try to download this form, I receive an un-openable file.

Based on the way the application is designed, it looks like USC wants us to upload all of our essays in one large document (since there's only one place to upload essays). But I can't confirm this since the aforementioned document won't open on my computer.

I appreciate any help you guys can provide me. Thanks!

What about formatting, does anyone know if there's a specific font, spacing, etc. that USC wants? I can't find this information anywhere on their site or in their application. I'm thinking of calling the admissions office to ask but don't want to if the information is accessible somewhere on the web. Any thoughts?
