Unrelated question to admission. Does anyone know if they really want everyone to take two Fridays off in July and August for the first class?

Right! They were great though and I'm going in on April 8th. I'm really curious what the process is like, though from what I've read here it's pretty straight forward. For those of you going in on the 28th post how it goes!

No worries man.

I think that some schools do not interview an applicant but still accept him/her for some reason.

Can anyone else speak to this? I know for FT, everyone who gets accepted was interviewed. I know they are changing PM program too to allow for more interviews. Does anyone know whether you have to be interviewed to get accepted or do they accept anyone without the interview?

Yes.. those two weekends (including the Fridays) are mandatory for the program.

Hate to rain on the parade, but in my interview I was told that they are trying to be more selective and make the class more competitive by interviewing as many candidates as possible. I don't recall her saying "all applicants" but they have moved away from admitting without interviewing.

I got my interview email today! A couple of questions:

1) what are the interview questions and how long is the interview?
2) what percentage of applicants that interview get accepted?

My interview was supposed to be 30 min but stretched to nearly an hour.

Typical job interview questions...tell me about yourself, walk me through your resume..etc,

Why an MBA, why now why usc....know that down cold

Us news reported that last year the acceptance rate was 57%. I have yet to meet someone in the class of 2017 that was accepted without interview. The acceptance rate is down from 84% in 2013
