Alicia is a very easy going lady. She made me quiet comfortable before she started asking questions.
she started with my CV and asked few questions on that.
Questions asked were: brief about experience till now why USC, why now what is leadership according to me, toughest time for me as a leader. international experience, my strengths one weak point in my application.
i was pretty comfortable while talking with her. i also asked her a few questions related to economy slowdown and technology scenario in LA.
overall i felt it was a good interview and got a feeling that i should get an admit :) Total time was around 30 mins
Hope this helps. You can write back if you have any more questions.
Best of luck to all the guys who are waiting for interviews :)
I have already created a community on Orkut. Currently me n shweta are the only members! So Do join in and tell all other invisible Marshall admits to do the same!!
One quick question... the person who interviews u, wud he/she already have had a look at your application or wud u hv to reiterate ur goals etc, within those 30 min?

From my interviews what i have got to know is that they dont have application essays. but Interviewer always has ur CV atleast. So yes you need to brief about ur goals and other things mentioned in application.
Usually it starts with an intro from ur side with summary of experience and then why MBA. so goals usually come out without explicitely asking.

They will definitely have ur resume.
For me, the interview started with resume walkthrough. current profile and what is the hardest part of my job. Why USC. Why MBA. Interests. And a different question: 2 people I wud take on a long ride with me and why.

Hi Guys, Congratulations to everyone who got their admits from USC Marshall school of business. Last week, I got my admit to USC Part-time MBA program. I am sure, I would run into most of you guys during our program. I reside in Irvine and work for Cisco. I lived in Santa Monica near UCLA before, really good location. If anyone needs any input on LA, feel free to ping me. I am excited to be part of Marshall Alumni! - L8R
Congrats on your admit. LA living expenses are very high, especially the rents. You should certainly plan for aprox $1K living expenses a month. This is considering that you would not have a car and for certain would be having roomies. It is more expensive than midwest or Southern states, but ofcourse more opportunites.

Thanks for the information rakasam.
This question goes to everyone: I live on the east coast and plan to make a trip down to LA for admit weekend. Do you have any suggestions on the best bang for the buck hotels, in a safe area, close to campus? How is the public transport system down there?
Hey Guys, This question goes to all of you (experts on USC Marshall by now, I guess :-) Does anyone know about USC Marshall IBEAR MBA program? Any input will be highly appriciated.
