Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
Will catch fellow interviewees on the 11th. Looking forward to meeting you all.
Regarding PBL, how are you exactly graded in PBL? I know you have a triple jump exam but do the PBL instructors grade you as well during your group sessions (grade individually? As a group)? Is grading lenient and is PBL a big portion of your overall trimester grades?

Hey! I am interviewing the 2/4~
To those who have already interviewed/been accepted; did they emphasize the essay component of the interview day? When I interviewed at Pitt, they said the essay was not a deciding factor and they just wanted to make sure you can write legibly.
I am an OOS but does anyone know the acceptance rate for USC? It's private + pretty expensive so I'm sure they accept more than their class size (probably more movement, too).

Also, information on the interview is everywhere on this site. You just have to look for it. Save others the diligence of having to dig it out for you.
Anyone WL after a pre-december interview and got accepted off the waitlist recently?
Nope note yet! I believe they just finished with the jan-feb batch of interviews today, so maybe in a few more weeks? 🙂

Did you interview recently or something?
yeah on the 11th
Same here my man. Assuming you're from Illinois I sat next to you during lunch.
Haha niiice bro....Good luck to you. Keep me updated on your status
My answer is this....
Gorge,
You really don't have to worry about the interview. As long as you can be sociable and interesting you will be fine. Essay question is a simple question that can be written at most 2-3 paragraphs. I had a question on describe my best friend. Again, these questions are random so you most likely will not get similar ones as I have. As you know USC's curriculum is based on a case based learning style, which you will be introduced at the interview day. It was my first time with the new learning style, and I had to say, it was fun and I loved it!
So Gorge, relax, be yourself, don't be quiet, and just have fun at USC. You were invited for a reason, show them that reason! 🙂 Goodluck
K thanks. Where'd u hear this?
Even if u interviewed in Jan

Big congrats big guy!
Congrats! I also interviewed the same day as you, but I haven't heard back 🙁 Did you get the post-interview candidate email as well?
Yeah I received that same thing and emailed the form over to them within the hour yesterday. Good luck! You got this
Thanks for the reply. I just emailed mines today. I just hope I get in. This is the only school I've interviewed at so far, so I am crossing my fingers for an acceptance.
I also want to get in. Good luck!!
nice

I doubt it, maybe they can work something out with you if you call them.

They are accepting you presuming you will have the prereqs completed. As an applicant, it's your responsibility to complete what is required... Better start looking.
Hi everyone!
I just confirmed my interview for March 5th! I'm nervous/excited...Anyone else interviewing that day?

It says this in the interview packet
ILLchief is right, you are expected to have all the prereqs done before you start their program. USC can rescind your acceptance if you don't complete the required coursework.
lol really? maybe if you pay attention to detail and read your interview/acceptance emails then you would know this. but here you go....
1. Regarding pre-dental prerequisites or courses in progress: It is the responsibility of accepted students to meet all prerequisites which are currently incomplete and to provide verification of completion prior to August, 2014. No pre-dental prerequisites will be waived.
does this answer your question? so yeah good luck there bud
