I don't know about USC specifically, but usually Online, Part-Time and EMBA programs are easier to get into.

For what it's worth, I just looked up USC on US News, and the 10th-90th GPA percentile for the Part-Time MBA program is 2.78-3.77, while for the Full-Time program it is 3.18-3.92. Similarly, the GMAT averages for the Part-Time and Full-Time programs are 632 and 708, respectively. There was no data available for the Online program.

I wish you the best! Cheers!

I believe OMBA is significantly easier to get into. I have a friend that got in with a 3.0 and GMAT just below 600. Even he was suprised lol.. Solid work history but not exceptional. I doubt that would get in the part time program, def not the full time.

That makes sense. I applied to OMBA, but truthfully I think my academics fall below full-time standards so I'm hoping I'm able to be accepted. I also don't live in SoCal so this makes the most sense for me.

icanhazmba Well the R4 deadline was 5/1, so I'd be very surprised (read shocked) if they are done sending out interview invites. I take that you are basing your concern off of the original R4 deadline of 4/15, but as per Marshall's website the deadline was pushed back.

sammanu13 Quite a few people posted about their interview invites, all received on 05/01. That includes people who submitted their applications right on the deadline. Anyway, I'll see how it goes, but it doesn't look too good.

Applied for the PM program with similar timeline. Hopefully will hear back soon. Seems as if they are notifying FT applicants first.
