people with 520+ keep in mind you may not be getting II bc of yield protection. usc is not a top 25 school

N=1 but one of my friends last cycle was complete at USC very early and had radio silence until end of January when he got a II. He interviewed in March and was waitlisted at end of March but got in off the waitlist in early May
By then he had already committed to another school.

Taking someone who already CTE’d elsewhere? Classic USC.

I don’t think he had CTE’d but rather made a choice to attend that school rather than SC

Do you have a strong research background?

 

[vi0linm0nster]

I'm not complaining LOL but I felt that I have better chances of actually being accepted at USC more stats wise

Do you have a strong research background?

Yes very strong research background and fairly strong community service too with community themed app

That is so good to hear! I have also heard that Dean Arias is the best so I am looking forward to meeting her in person. Best wishes!

 

[premed20172017]

No. Don't assume. They'll let you know either way.

 

[ayjaystudent]

Are they done handing out II's?

 

[Ben2019]

Are they done handing out II's?

I thought it’s still early in the cycle. But after looking through the ii dates on this thread, I am not sure anymore. Do they give silent rejection?

 

[CoitusInterruptus]

If they’re done handing them out, then i guess they hated my answer to what I would do with a huge fortune

 

[ayjaystudent]

Or maybe they just hated your nickname "Coitus Interruptus".

[choks]

Complete 7/7, MCAT 509, nothing yet. Please LET ME IN USC! Knew it was a reach, but still hopeful 🙂

 

[Marr97]

Any word from my 521 bois?

 

[the_expert]

520 boi here, silence.

 

[yungdoc]

520 boi here, silence.

Same bro, same ‍

 

[checkingmyemailevery5secs]

Any 522 hear back either way?

 

[peanuttbuttah]

Any 522 hear back either way?

nooooope

 

[checkingmyemailevery5secs]

USC was going at the same pace last year and II were given in Oct to people who were complete on July....hopefully the same happens again

Do we think there's a chance that they will open up more dates before January? That just seems crazy/kind of unbelievable that they're essentially done giving out interviews?
