Question about USC / Marshall

Hi everyone!

I got an email yesterday about Marshall not having my test scores which I have sent right after getting denied the waiver for the test.

Since then I have been invited to Interview and had a great interview as well, about 10 days ago I got an email about them needing my official transcripts (in my country’s native language) and after sending them I double checked if my application was complete.

Now this.. has anyone gotten the same email even tho they had submitted the test scores? I’m getting very frustrated with this.

Stern - interesting experiential opps, more diversity, alumni from/in diverse industries, more entrepreneurial resources, more networking opportunities. Better prestige

Notes:

I’m admitted to Fuqua with a partial tuition fee scholarship.

-Currently a Senior Consultant at Deloitte at GPS practice, earning $130K

-Gunning for MBB and moving out of GPS and eventually to a firm at a senior role.

Reasons I'm considering MBA:
1. Right now MBB switch seems difficult.
2. Thinking for a 10+ year horizon monetarily

GRE: 330
GPA: 3.81
Location: Washington, D.C.
Notes:

Goal is to land a tech PM role or pivot to management consulting (currently in tech consulting). My gut instinct is to take the $ from Kellogg but I'm intrigued by Haas' high placement in tech and smaller program size. Dartmouth was originally a top choice (close to family), but no scholarship makes it a tough sell. Am I overthinking this?

GPA: 3.3
Years of Work Experience: 16
Post MBA Location: Atlanta
Notes:

Bachelor’s of Science in Psych from Ohio University.

Cumulative GPA 3.325.

I went to school for 2 years and had mediocre grades, dropped out for 9 years to have a family and work, and came back and finished the last two years strong with a 4.0 every semester. Awarded Provost’s List multiple times.

Was also working FT and Secretary of the Psych club, and mothering 2 kids while un medicated ADHD.

I have had 16 years of work experience total, and I have 7 years of work history as an optician and a mortgage loan originator (both quant experience) and was promoted in both of those jobs. I’ve also owned my own businesses, and have self-led successful volunteer experiences as well as volunteered for organizations.

Also not sure if it matters but I have a unique background. American but have spent time living in Mexico and working/studying in Guatemala and Peru. Recently just spent 2 months in the jungle learning about plant medicine and the Shipibo language from an indigenous elder in the Peruvian Amazon.

I enjoy process improvement hence the consulting concentration, and I also am interested in entrepreneurship based on my past businesses, and wanting to help support indigenous female entrepreneurs in Peru.
