What surprised you the most about Marshall?

Don't worry about grades! You're here to network, meet friends for life and secure a job that will set you up for a long and fulfilling career. Stressing about grades will get in the way of this. Learn as much as you can and make sure you can apply it in a real-world situation, but don't freak out if you can't calculate WACC on demand. Just remember, everybody graduates!

Favorite USC Marshall Core Class:

Competitive Strategy has been my favorite class so far, as you get the opportunity to analyze real-world business problems through various cases and apply what you have learned in interactive class discussions.

Favorite USC Marshall experience:

Definitely the tailgates and Challenge for Charity (C4C) parties. It's a great way to network and really get to know your classmates outside of an academic setting.

What you wish you knew before attending business school?

It's significantly more intense than I expected. You will hit the ground running starting with the first day of Orientation and before you know it the first term will be over. Definitely frontload on sleep!
