Thoughts on USC Marshall FT MBA?

What do you think of this program? Currently, I have no solid prospects for letters of recommendation and this program conveniently doesn’t require them. Their test scores are high, so I’d probably have to max out the GRE. 
 

“To put Marshall’s GMAT score in perspective, last year 732 would have placed the school second among all U.S. B-schools, tied with Chicago Booth School of Business and trailing only Stanford Graduate School of Business. And this year, Marshall’s astronomical score is ahead of such peers as Virginia Darden School of Business (720), Chicago Booth (729), Yale School of Management (723), Michigan Ross School of Business (720), Duke Fuqua School of Business (718), and UCLA Anderson School of Management (711) — and just behind NYU Stern School of Business and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, both of which reported averages of 733.”

It would be nice to find a wifey at an MBA program as well and I like it that a lot of Catholics live in the LA Archdiocese.

 

It would be nice to get an MBA and MRS at the same time (future wifey).
