Still waiting. Interviewed at the end of jan
When did you interview?
AWESOME JOB, DIRK! FIGHT ON!
![]()
Sidenote: Oh god... I dance exactly like Dirk Nowitzki.
I'm from CT, and only have ever been to LA for the interview. LA definitely seemed pretty sprawling, but I really, really, really want to do this without a car. I drive a beater that would in no way make it across country, and don't want to drop 7k on a used one once I get out there, if I can avoid it for the first two years. Is this realistic? People have suggested Koreatown and Highland Park as solid locations for bars/restaurants, affordable rent, and close metro access to get to Union Station for the shuttle to the HSC. Can I realistically do this without a car?
Also, USC is absurdly expensive, but looking at the COA budget, it seems it may be a little inflated to me. Do I really need to spend $3500 on books first year?

Thank you!!! What are the odds you'll come next year and we'll be classmates?? Also that's my all time favorite dirk video, so much swag I cant handle it. If he only he had a decent-looking haircut...
Aren't those the ~$2k/mo. apartments?
Just like your namesake, clutch on the big stage.
Also accepted on Tuesday after interviewing two weeks prior! I'm glad to see that so many of us heard good news 🙂
Also, does anyone know where I can find a link to the 2014 match list?

Did you ever figure this out? I just withdrew from two community college courses I was taking to satisfy a social science requirement for a DO school. I emailed admissions and they explicitly told me that my my acceptance offer would not be rescinded if I withdrew. Now I am starting to get neurotic that maybe the person at the medadmit email made a mistake, and my offer will be rescinded. I have nothing to worry about, right?Can someone who was accepted please post the conditions of acceptance?
Their admissions office told me that it's OK for me to withdraw from courses so long as they're not prerequisites. I wanted to make sure that there isn't a
"successfully complete all coursework undertaken this year" clause in the acceptance letter. Thanks in advance.

Interviewed on 1/28. Is Dr. Arias sending decisions every other Tuesday or every Tuesday? Keck is my top choice, and it's hard to peel myself away from my inbox. 😕
DirkN, you interviewed on 1/28; AM or PM?
For any current students, how do you think the split from Doheny and emergency of USC Ophthamology is going to affect USC's research ranking, if at all?
I was curious about this issue too. Take a look at this thread. http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/usc-ophthalmology.1047382/
First day of classes is August 10th. Orientation is August 6th and 7th.Congrats to everyone who was accepted!
Does anyone know when classes start?
Withdrew my acceptance last week. Finances played a large role. You'd think they would do something about the terrible financial aid. I think there are a lot of pretty good students that would love to train at LAC but the lack of financial aid just makes it a complete non starter.
Do we have to buy student insurance from the school if we're still on our parents' plan? I can stay on my parents' plan for the first two years, but I'm from Connecticut, so that's where my insurance is.
Thanks. You can opt-out even if your plan is cross-country and anywhere in CA would be out-of-network?You can opt out of school insurance once you start school and you get a refund I believe. A lot of people do this and they make announcements for when the last day to opt of school insurance is. All you have to do as provide proof that you are in fact insured and would have access to care with your insurance policy.
I got a letter about a week later and then a finaid email (just had to fill out one form) several weeks after that, but nothing else thus far!Does anyone know if we are supposed to receive anything in the mail about our acceptance, or just the email and portal tab?

Any acceptance comes out today yet?
Thank you. U r so nice 😉Thanks! Are you closer to deciding where you will be attending next year?
Acceptances should come out today, but I think they came out closer to 1PM pacific time 2 weeks ago. Good luck, I'm crossing my fingers for you!
Accepted! Received an email at 11:30 am PST this morning. Interviewed 1/27. Lizzy M score ~74
Been a lurker on these forums during this app cycle. Just wanting to let others know they have started sending some out today so keeping checking your emails and good luck!
Congrats! I interviewed on the same day! Is USC your top choice? I'll definitely be attendingAccepted! Received an email at 11:30 am PST this morning. Interviewed 1/27. Lizzy M score ~74

I just took a look at USC's match list that they gave us on interview day. For internal medicine, well over 50% stay at USC for residency. I'd say it was close to 2/3 that matched at USC for IM. Isn't that an abnormally high amount staying? Other match lists I've seen might have 5-6 people staying, but not over half.
Congrats!!

Can anyone shed some light on what the weekly schedule looks like and when the day usually starts for Fall and Spring MSI? I'm trying to plan a housing location and commute that isn't completely terrible, keeping in mind that I only really have to show up twice a week (for ICM and PPM?) since all other courses are audio/visual recorded. I'm also going to try and see if I can get by without a car for the first two years. I'll be living with my brother who has one and will go with him for groceries and such. Although I know taking the bus would take about an hour and a half every morning (which I don't mind too much if it's only twice a week), I'm looking for a place in West L.A. Thank you! I look forward to meeting many of you who are also part of the Class of 2019!
