I just got my interview invite via email.
do you guys know if interviews are given to everyone or if there's an actual screening process?
I got mine too!
Anyone in the 8.45AM group?
Thanks, would u mind giving us some advices about the interview? What type of question are they asking its personal or its only about your supplemental application?Interviews are not given to everyone; I think they invite on average 400-500 or so every year to fill a class of roughly 190 seats.
For everyone worrying about getting an interview, just keep in mind that there's four interview dates for a reason! Don't freak out if you don't get an invite for October. I interviewed in January and I know people who interviewed in the later months and we all got in just fine. It's a terribly anxious time waiting to hear something (trust me, I know!) especially when people around you are receiving invites, but just sit tight and hope your time comes, whether its next week or next year.
As always, if anyone has any questions regarding the interview day, logistics, or anything SC in general, feel free to PM me! And good luck to all those interviewing this month!
I just heard from a student that some pharmacy school do not take or count statistics taken ONLINE!! is this true with USC? I took mine online and now kinda worried! ...if anyone knows anything about this, please share...
Thank you guys
Best to probably call in to USC and ask directly. You can always email them also. And don't worry, you still have winter/spring to take the course if necessary

The interview is twenty minutes long, though it doesn't necessarily go that long always, and in some cases might go a little longer! As far as I know, everyone is interviewed by a student and a faculty/PharmD. The questions I was asked were pretty standard to start with (definitely check out interview feedback page!) - tell me about yourself, why pharmacy, why USC and so forth. The rest of the interview tends to be dictated from what you say before, and what is on your supplemental (they had it in front of them as far as I could tell, as they were pulling things I had wrote out from it and asking me). As long as you know why you're there, why you want to go where you want to go (assuming you know where you want to go ), just be confident and you'll be fine. As with any interview, they just want to get to know you. And as always, ask your interviewers questions! You can get two interesting viewpoints from your two interviewers, so utilize that.
Otherwise, just show up a little early, mingle with your potential future classmates, talk with some of us current students (some of us will be there), and relax. You'll all be just fine, no matter how you think your interview day goes! And make sure you read the instructions for the writing sample/summary!

Thanks alot . I can't find the interview feedback page...how can I find it?
thanks for the advice! can you please give some suggestions on the writing sample? I know its on current event, but there's so many of them. I'm scared that I wont know the topic :?

Scroll to the veryyyy top of this page,and along the top banner in that dark blue area..."Interview Feedback" and make your way to pharmacy and USC. You might want to add a grain of salt to the really old comments, from like 2004...as things may not be the same anymore.
