Do you think that's it from USC? Was it one big mass e-mail sent at 10:34am? Do you think I still have a chance at an e-mail too?

Hey Columbia,
How do you like being at USC so far?? Everybody I've talked to so far is super impressed with my getting into USC because of its reputation. So I am pretty stoked right now!
Obviously you haven't been around SDN lately; USC is the bottom choice of pretty much everybody around here. USC bases it's reputation on their undergrad programs and the medical school. USC dental is probably the worst program in the nation. We have trouble with graduation issues and very poor administration. Try getting into somewhere else right now that you still have time.
I'm a first year at SC' so my opinion is going to differ greatly from Typodont's, but I do understand/know about every single problem at USC. The way things are going right now here, the class of 2012 should be in good shape. The class of 2008 is probably screwed based on the fact that the things that are about to change here will probably not happen until mid spring to summer.
My opinion: I really enjoy the PBL process, especially the small group interaction and active learning that is achieved through this process. I've learned a lot via this process. I'm glad that they've integrated a Dental Anatomy course in addition to dental anatomy lab, gross anatomy course at the medical school, amalgam and composite courses as well as a Local Anesthesia course taught by Dr. Malamed (world renowned dental anesthesiologist).
If you ask upperclassmen, who have unfortunately had to deal with USC at its worst, they will express great resentment toward this institution. However, I genuinely feel that USC will only be getting better in the very near future.
Also, to clarify one thing on SDN, the dismal graduation rates of the past few years are NOT because of PBL. These low graduation rates are almost solely related to clinical issues and the administration, but from what I know, this will most likely be changing in the next 6-9 months.
