Maddy4Phd Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It is for OB. Yes they have. But the office told me that few more interview calls could go. I think that may be because not all those who have been made an offer will accept.. This is the forum for Marketing, and not OB. And to be honest, all the Departments don't make decisions the same way. So, what may be true for OB, may not be true for CB or Quant and vice versa.

phd12345 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 OK, recommenders informed, friends informed, family notified, so now I can post it here! Institution Name: USC Marshall Concentration: Marketing (CB) Date of Notification: February 26th Type of Notification: Email Notification: Acceptance!!!!!!!!! Posted on GradCafe?: Not yet Comments: Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Surprised, relieved, and happy! This came late in the day, so I was surprised to see the email. Now I can sleep. And not stress about the fact that I didn't apply widely enough (and to WAY too few schools) ETA: I guess I have to stop talking smack about the USC football team... Huge Congratulations!!! So do you have any school to turn down definitely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheetrockero Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Just found out that I am on the Waitlist at INSEAD with three people ahead of me. They made one CB and one Quant offer. Probably not going to convert to an Accept given how popular INSEAD has been on this thread this year. C'est la vie. At least my Mom will be happy that I'm not moving to the other side of the world. In fact, I might not even move at all if Oregon admits me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys got admitted/waitlisted at INSEAD might very well also get admitted at H/S/W or LBS. Who knows? :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of wish I biked too. It took me more time to drive, find parking, and walk to the other side of campus than it would have to bike there. The only problem is that I was wearing a suit, and I didn't really want to mess it up. I wore a green shirt w/ yellow tie. Yeah, I think the chickens would be glad to have us stay. I don't think they're ready to take their retirement trip on Crockpot Cruiselines yet. Yeah, Paulo at INSEAD has been really good about getting back to me and keeping me in the loop thru this whole process. I would have liked to work with him if I was Quant.

My Mom will be bummed about the UCI rejection, but I probably wouldn't have gone there anyway since it isn't really a great research match.

OK, I didn't actually hope you biked to the interview...Not a good idea in a suit. I do like the green shirt with yellow tie. Though it would have probably been even more impressive if you say, stepped into the men's room every 5 minutes and came out with a different shade of green and yellow, or different combinations of those colors. You know, kind of similar to the Oregon football team and their constant changing uniforms. And I'm sorry, but I literally laughed out loud at "Crockpot Cruiselines". I guess it's healthier than "Deep Fried Airlines" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huan0780 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thank you! Actually I am quite confused about the "ranking" thing~ I just get a better 'gut feel' about USC for no reason and is trying to convince myself by some rational reason.
