Why it matters
Why the USC Marshall MBA video assessment matters
USC Marshall requires a separate video assessment for Full-Time MBA applicants, giving the admissions committee another way to evaluate communication, judgment, and leadership beyond the written application. Recent question patterns emphasize behavioral and situational responses, so preparation matters for both answer quality and on-camera delivery.
Program structure and format
Applicants respond independently to behavioral and situational questions in a separate step before any invitation-only live interview.
Career and industry value
Strong answers can demonstrate fit with Marshall’s emphasis on innovation, responsible leadership, and impact in business and society.
