Hoping for OC

Surprisingly, I hear OC is more competitive. I dont know how accurate that is though, I can only do LA campus, so hopefully it makes me a more appealing candidate.

It doesn’t surprise me. I imagine there is a ton of talent here that would prefer to skip the commute up to LA if at all possible. Good luck to you!

Im sure you will get an interview, the GMAT is well above average and will hopefully carry your lower GPA. Also for this program Im think work exp will mean a lot.

Thanks for the words. I've honestly deterred from applying a few times due to my lack of confidence in my GPA, I felt confident after going to an info session and talking to adcom about how USC applies a "holistic approach" to choosing candidates.

Good luck to everyone and I hope we all get good news.

Good luck to you! Did you apply in R1? Your profile is very competitive, I'm sure you will get good news.

I actually just talked to Nirav Mehta on the phone, Mr. Mehta is the associate director of Admissions over at the LA campus and is a great source of information regarding the program. He stated that R1 candidates are currently being reviewed, and it's a possibility that they will be contacted in a week or two.

I highly suggest contacting Mr. Mehta for a LA campus visit (if you aren't planning to join the OC campus), I will be visiting soon and hope to report back with more information.
