Does anyone who applied with a waiver, yet to receive an update on their waiver request?

Yes. It still says complete actually.

Does this refer to the USC application portal, or the decision portal they sent after the application was submitted? For example, after receiving that 8 digit user code we were required to submit transcripts despite the first application portal saying ’complete’

Well, I sent my official transcripts with my application. Also, I read that some admitted applicants didn't send that official transcripts before their admission... For me that is very confusing

This is the application portal.
I don't think the decision portal (youSC) will get updated until you are admitted or rejected. I just got an interview notice via email.

I interviewed with a member of the admissions committee this week. I do not believe she had seen my application, only my resume. My interview lasted 30 minutes. It was not on Microsoft Teams (as noted in the interview invite) but on Zoom.

Walk me through your resume.
Do you oversee anyone at your current job?
What leadership opportunities have you had?
What do you attribute to the success of your career?
Why do you want an MBA? What are your post mba goals?
Why Marshall?
What will you bring to Marshall?
Have you talked to any students or alumni?
What is one soft skill that you are working to improve on?
What are your top three strengths?
How would your friends describe you?
Is there anything more I should know about you?
Do you have any questions for me?

One more question was how would your friends describe you.

A tip I would give is to present your answer and then give background information or additional context. I tried explaining why I’m different from my friends and because of this they would describe me a certain way. The interviewer took this that I didn’t understand the question. This might have docked me points.

Another issue I had was anticipating future questions. When they asked why USC Marshall I should have talked about more specifics like classes/clubs/ examples from students I talked to, how specifically USC can help me get from A to B.

I expected them to ask what courses I’m interested in or if I had talked to any students. They didn’t and I didn’t get to “show off”

Yeah nothing. From India.
But USC has a lot of students from India. Any clue how to track the status. How was the first round stats for Indian students like?

Actually they did ask me about students that I had talked to because I mentioned 3 now that I think about it.
