Has anyone with a pre-dec inteview gotten in yesterday (third round)?
I interviewed back in October and I just got my acceptance last night. I'll probably not be accepting it, though, because I got into Tufts which I fell in love with.
Has anyone with a pre-dec inteview gotten in yesterday (third round)?
Congrats. . Hopefully I'll get in on the next round and join you at USC. Do you mind my asking what your stats are? I interviewed in Nov. as well.Got the email yesterday at 5:30pm Pacific time! I interviewed in November.

I just called USC, I interview on 2/13, and i was not emailed on Friday, congrats to those that were emailed tho, for those who are in my boat, I just got off the phone with USC, i was told that there are still "acceptances that are going to be sent out shortly"....so im guessing this means that not all of the 3rd round has been sent out yet, so there's still hope aside from waiting for the 4th round. so fingers crossed that she meant that!
Would you share your stats?Seems like not many people are happy about getting accepted to USC, there are just 4, 5 people posted about acceptance..and happy about it. ( there were almost of 25 people posting and so happy about getting acceptance letter when 1st,2nd round acceptance date but 3rd round acceptance date, there were like 4, 5 people only posted..)
I really really need acceptance letter from USC and did not get it yet..
probably, I am not even one of their list .. ( I was pre-dec interviewee and I've waited for 4 month having stress and not able to focus on what I am doing..) = they might already reject some but they just don't tell , just in case..
I just hope that they just reject me, not hanging me on their list and make me so stressed and nervous..
Honestly, this is torture..
Congrats!.. did they call you as well? or just an email? And what is the subject of email and what is written in it? Did your AADSAS shows accepted as well?
thanks! I just got an email, no phone call. My AADSAS hasn't been updated yet.
In the same position as you. I have no idea what to do at this point. Also if I have to apply next round what do I do to make myself more competitive besides taking DAT over... I dont want to give up.Seems like not many people are happy about getting accepted to USC, there are just 4, 5 people posted about acceptance..and happy about it.

Congratz!! I know you got accepted at Western too. Are you going to drop that one? ~~
Ya definitely going to drop Western once I commit to USC. Good luck with everything!
Nah, shouldn't matter. They rank applicants anyways. It would matter if one of the dates were before third round and the other date after third round, but since we're on the last round, pick whatever date that's less troublesome for you.Cool. I think I might go for 3/23 and give myself some time to prepare and fill out that secondary! (have you looked at that yet?!?). Best of luck to you!!
Edit: does anyone think it'll make much difference whether I interview 3/13 or 3/26? Thanks again.

Hey did they tell you the last interview date is the 26th?

The class should be 75% full (or less). And I'm guessing they'll send acceptances on April 1st (the second round was on Feb 1st and the third round was on March 1st). Since the tuition is so high (highest out of all the dental schools in the US, ~ $500,000 debt after 4 years b/c loans are unsubsidized) many people drop once they get an acceptance from another place. Chances should be pretty good. Although, I'm still waiting for my acceptance, and I interviewed in early Nov. :/.
There's not much you could do to prepare for it. Some of the questions on the interview feedback were asked as "icebreaker" type questions within your group (of about 8 people). Make sure you participate in the group case-study but don't overdo it. Be respectful of others opinions and allow others to contribute their ideas. There's a short writing sample after the mock PBL case --the topic is similar to that of the icebreaker questions. Other than that, just relax and be yourself. You'll do fineOkay so my interview is in less than a week.
How do you prepare for the interview at USC? SDN's interview feedback for USC is all over the place
Any tips? Suggestions? Things to look out for?

officially "alternate/waitlist"ed on the USC portal..
thats expected.... everyone gets alternate/waitlisted status on their portal.. Ryan mentioned that during the interview.. even if you are accepted you are waitlisted on their portal..
it wasn't like that after my interview and it was only updated after the march 1st round of acceptances went out.
