I have been lurking for the past few days because I have been nervous since I had not received any kind of communication from the admissions office. I am happy to report that like most of you, I have also received an invitation to interview! I submitted my application on 11/14/2014 and received the invite two days ago on 12/09/2014. My interview is scheduled for 1/5/2015. Good luck to all that received an invitation as well.

To those that have interviewed, or as anyone does interview, it would be greatly appreciated if you could post some questions that were asked during the interview so the rest of us can know what to expect. Thanks in advance!!

My interview was fairly informal, mostly conversational, but with a few straightforward interview questions one would expect: Walk me through your day-to-day operations at your job; why do you want an MBA and why is now the right time; describe a difficult situation in which you took a leadership role.

The interview was very conservational and relaxed. In addition to the standard questions (Why mba, why now, why marshall, describe a difficult situation and what you learned from it), I also got a few questions that pertained to my recent promotion to manager of my department. How would you describe your management style? Are you more of a project manager or people manager? The last question I got was "tell me the one thing you would want me to remember about you".

My interviewer also repeated my answers as she understood them, to make sure there were no mis-understandings (this helped me relax quite a bit actually).

Good luck on your interview!

Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences in the interview. Really nice of you to share that information. Good luck to you all. I have my interview on 1/6 after applying 10/23. I assume the first round of decisions will likely be sent mid-January?

I've got an interview scheduled for the second week in January. I applied on Nov 14th. I am hoping that they will release their first decisions in mid/late January or on February 1st.

Hey guys, I just wanted to see if any of you have been admitted elsewhere? I got wait listed by UCLA, and was admitted by UCI for spring entry with money. I am still a little undecided on what to do if I get into USC.

i got into uci as well, but have to submit my deposit and intent to enroll by the first week of january. not sure what to do here because i dont think usc will send out notices until mid or end of january. has anyone ever tried contacting the admissions office before to try to expedite?

I am in the same boat. My deposit is due 1 week and a day after my interview at USC. They have had my application since November 14th which should be more than enough time to make a decision promptly after my interview.

Something I just noticed while reviewing their updated website:...


"Exact cost figures will be provided by the MBA.PM Program Office to students during the summer before classes begin. The approximate overall cost of the program is $120,000 (Note: Roughly half the overall costs are incurred in the first year of the program). Costs cover tuition, textbooks, classroom materials, parking, university fees, and required lodging costs for the PM GLOBE residential. Additional costs for the PM GLOBE residential including some meal costs will be the responsibility of the student"

As much as I would like to attend USC, I am not sure the degree is worth that much from this school.

Ugh. :cry:

If you have a decision available, there will be a notification underneath your "Recommendation Provider" section. It will say something along the lines of "Decision Status: Available Beginning 1/15/15," and I had a link to decision file.

Called earlier today. They said if you aren't pursuing a duel degree then you should have already been notified. Got a call back a couple hours later telling me I've been accepted.
