2013-2014 University of Southern California (Keck) Application Thread

BU Medical Sciences
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I doubt there's a problem if it was 13 months ago. The timeframe isn't really the point of the question, so as long as it is within reason, I doubt it matters.

has anyone without an mcat score received a secondary yet? i've heard keck doesn't screen, but i haven't received a secondary yet even though i'm verified and GPA is 3.9... i'm guessing it's because my mcat scores aren't in yet? any advice?
 
Just got an II here! Yay, home turf. :)

IS, completed Jul 12 2013

Good luck!

First interview invite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
For the essay question about being remembered in 50 years, did you guys talk about your classmates remembering the medically-related stuff (like what you'd do after graduating from med school) or did you talk about your classmates remembering what you did during med school/what your personality was like during med school?

I took the second approach to emphasize the qualities I would bring to their class.
 
Rejected pre-interview even though stats are around or above 90th percentile of accepted students. Just saw that MSAR and USNEWS said that USC accepts 0 or 1 intl. applicants out of 300+ apps. Should not have applied. Such a waste of money :/
 
Congrats to everyone with an Interview Invite, Im so excited! maybe we are potential classmates! Im nervous but excited for my interview here! this is a top choice for me!

When does USC interview until? I really want to go here so badly

Last years thread had interviews given out in November for late January so there's still hope I'd say. Also, didn't a USC student mention that they were building a new admin building so it was messing with the interview dates? It looks like they're still interviewing people complete in July and first week of August so unless USC operates on a really extreme version of first come first serve I wouldn't worry too much yet. At least that's what I keep telling myself :(
 
Anyone with II's check that they were interested in the Health Technology program?
 
Has anyone tried to submit the secondary and the fee been rejected? it keeps telling me that my information for the fee isnt correct.
 
I know other people have had this issue with various other secondaries, but I am not sure what the consensus is on the reason why. On all of my secondaries thus far it says my letters of recommendation have not been received, but AMCAS has them. Thoughts?

I was verified today, FYI. Got the Keck secondary within 30 minutes.
 
Just got a rejection today.
I thought I had solid stats.
3.46 gpa , 36 MCAT
Mph degree with 3.9 grad GPA.
My mph is actually from USC.
Any one have ideas why they rejected?
Don't they usually wait till later on in the cycle to send out rejections?
Any help would be appreciated.

Plenty of people have been rejected already. Seems like USC has been sending out rejections every week for the past two to three weeks
