Does anyone here know how long it usually takes for them to call for interview invites? Submitted my app for the 1/5 deadline. So nervous! USC is one of my top schools!

Anyone with news yet? I was told that decisions would come up at the end or February. Looking at round 1, it seems that decisions came a few days prior to the round 2 submission deadline, and the next submission deadline for round 3 is March 1

I know this forum is supposed to encourage applicants to apply to this program, but I feel compelled to come back to this forum and give advice if you're seriously considering this program.

I'm a current PM student, and my experience particularly with recruiting for summer internships has been frustrating. Although we're paying the same tuition as the full-timers, some summer internships are not open to part-time students. This means that certain company presentations and office hours with companies recruiting at Marshall are off limits to PM students. Marshall's Career Services Center claims that they can only do so much, and certain companies just have that as their standard policy, but it's very frustrating to learn this information far deep into the program.

Had I known this information when I was considering part-time business schools, I would have applied to another part-time program or applied to the full time program in the first place. It's disheartening and discouraging to hear that part timers are pretty much receiving substandard service for the same tuition.

Anyway, this advice only applies to those who are thinking about switching careers. If you're a career enhancer and are happy with your current job or company, then maybe USC's PM program is the right one for you. Otherwise, I'd apply to a higher caliber part-time program like UCLA's or Berkeley's. You wouldn't want to be stuck with all this student debt and extremely limited job/summer internship opportunities with Marshall.

The deadline is coming up next week. Anyone else in the same shoes waiting for this one? The waiting is just killing me! It's really looking like they're going to send out one big batch of decisions all at once.
