***The Official USC Class of 2018 Interview/Acceptance Thread***
Started by rladbwjdtl
Here!!! 🙂. Has anyone heard anything about them reviewing applications yet?
I've applied in the 2nd batch! Anyone know how early USC starts inviting for interviews? Also, I send my payment in via U.S snail mail and I've looked on their website, is there no way to pay the app fee online?

I believe they only accept check payment via snail mail.
Same here! I haven't heard anything from them yet. Last time I called, they said that they are a running a little behind. We should hear sometimes next month.Anybody received any email from them? They cashed my check, but no email at all.
If there is one thing I learned from last year it was this..
USC is SLOW
Except at cashing our checks. I live across the country and they were the first school to cash my check even though I sent several on the same day.

When did you submit your app,?
I sent the check on the day I e-submitted my application(6/24). They had not cashed my check yet..I got a confirmation mail from UPS that they received my check.
Shoul I call them and check? 🙁

Just you wait.
Other schools will have finished inviting pre-december interviewees before USC has even opened its portal.
USC is SLOW and LOVES MONEY. haha

envelope + check. check was cashed within the week that i sent it out

gotta love USC...
No word from USC yet. Waiting patiently
Submitted my application toady. At least they will send an e-mail demanding for application fee "soon".
Nope. You are suppose to send in your fee the same time as the aadsas app. Get on it Miss.

Got an app received email from USC today
Got an app received email from USC today
Got the same email (i.e. app received) three times!


Received the application received email today as well.
3rd batch here. got the email app confirmation today too but I expect a little wait before anything else:
"...and conducts interviews from early October through March."
"...and conducts interviews from early October through March."
Update: I talked to admissions today and they said that they haven't started reviewing any apps. I barely got an email today saying that they received my app and supp fee, but then again I was part of the 4th batch (7/19). Interviews wont start until October, so I guess we will just have to be patient.

There was a separate email for received payment? I'm 2nd batch and I never got that email.
Finally got an application received email. They cashed my check over a month ago hahaa. I hate this waiting game!!!

What are your guys' timelines?
Got an interview invite yesterday! I posted on the official interview thread.
Hey all, super new to SDN (made an account this morning) so hopefully I don't botch this up.
Anyways, I received an II from USC this morning but when I went to schedule my interview date, the earliest they had was January 14th...I guess all of the October dates filled up! Any clue if they will be opening up more interview dates? I would hate to wait until January...
Thanks for your help!

You mean October 23? I'll be interviewing then too and will be in LA on the 22nd. It's my first time going to Cali as well haha.
Congratulations to everyone who has received an invitation from USC to interview. I am a first year at USC dental and would gladly answer any questions any of you may have regarding concerns you may have. Please feel free to message me!
To those of you who are still waiting on interviews, I know exactly how you feel. As hard as it may be to do, please be patient and do not lose hope. USC has a very big class of 144 seats. When I interviewed in February, only half of the seats were full. At the interview, the Admissions Office will tell you USC really spends a lot of time, and for good reasons, looking at its applicant pool to select interviewees. While this may seem slower for all of you who are still waiting, you will definitely see and be able to appreciate its worth when you are here.
Stay positive and good things will happen!
