I remember the dean saying if you send an email indicating you would go on or after April 30th then you are in. But like what if you aren’t accepted anywhere else… the LOI is effectively meaningless lol

USC knows you rizzing other schools harder. Relax on spitting all that game son, your girl is on to you.

I didn’t get it until August 1st and submitted my primary as early as possible

OOS II! Just got the call!!!!

Just to clarify, did you get a call for an interview?

 

[asureshk]

i know the oos interview rate is pretty low but how many more II can we expect them to send out? I've been complete since the first week of august but haven't received any response.

 

[yourgfgf]

Just to clarify, did you get a call for an interview?

yes I got an email and a follow up call about scheduling an interview

 

[yourgfgf]

Question for those who have already interviewed. Any tips or topics I should prepare for? I heard from a current student the interviews are a bit more low key than other schools. Is this still the case?? Thank you!

Interview was closed file and pretty basic questions. The interview with the student was more conversational. Faculty opened with saying that they had specific questions they were required to ask me. Just kept firing off questions and asking follow-ups and wasn’t much of a conversation. Probably different interviewer to interviewer exactly what the experience is like.

Dr. Arias gives you a nice little pep talk beforehand

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

Does USC put people on hold or do they just give silence until R?

 

[misterslack]

OOS II! completed mid-august, multiple dates in jan. and feb.

 

[avalanche.md]

Got the call ~20 min ago!! Interviewed 10/20 so was not expecting this! Keep your head up @ all my September / October interviewees losing hope <3

 

[jaydee_emdee]

[milkMuncher]

Has anything important been posted to the FB for accepted students? I was locked out my account and just now got it back 😔

 

[kaitruns]

[berry_tart]

[yourgfgf]

what is a committee week? thx

 

[yourgfgf]

what is a committee week? thx

According to Dean Arias the admissions committee meets every other Monday then decisions are sent out the following Thursday (so three days later). It’s easy to track when they meet based on when people get calls for admission!

 

[milkMuncher]

nope, you haven't missed out on anything haha

Thank you!

Just checked my portal cuz I was depressed I never got an interview from Keck and when looking at my document statuses I saw that they were marked as complete on 1/8/2024 5:19:00 PM when they were actually submitted and complete well well before that. Is this some glitch in the system or did my AAMC letters somehow goof only to USC??

Check your email. iirc I received an email when my application was completed. Hopefully that’s just a glitch but I’m really sorry that happened :/

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

Have they sent Rs?

Mine show they were received in July (7/22), before they started sending out the secondary. Maybe it’s a glitch? Did you submit more than the requested 3 letters? Did you make any updates to your AAMC app or send new letters to other schools?

Like the above poster mentioned, check if you have an email in your inbox with the subject line “Keck School of Medicine: Supplemental Application Complete.” If you never received that then maybe email them and check.

 

[chunkimonki]

Does everyone have "Your application is complete and under review at this time." on their application status in their portal or does this mean they are actually reviewing my application? Sometimes schools will just show that status to everyone so I am just curious...

 

[chunkimonki]

Have they sent Rs?

Yes, there was a pretty big wave in December or November I think...
