Has anyone tried calling USC to get feedback on the weak points of their application? Or do they not advise students over the phone.

You need to make an appointment with the Admission counselor on their website .

Nope! I just applied in July and haven't reached out to them after! Thank you 🙂

 

[DrHJ]

For those of you ***** scheduled your interview, did you receive a confirmation email after scheduling your interview? Also did you receive any documents regarding PBL in the dropbox link?

 

[turtleburtle77]

Turns out my email was in the junk lol

 

[DrHJ]

Does anyone know if USC waives a missing unit of prerequisites after acceptances?

 

[melma18]

Has there been anyone interviewed and accepted to USC with a 14 QR?

 

[wooshiidental]

Has anyone received an email from Usc after their status changed to Wait listed?

 

[jonah1234321]

Nope 🙁

 

[Kimkimkim]

Nope 🙁

Same...should I write a letter of intent to them? What do you guys think?

 

[Punished Angeleno]

I desperately want to hear back from them myself but it wouldn't make sense to send a letter of intent if you haven't received an offer from any other program.

Waitlist changed to acceptance yesterday (Friday).

Congratulations.

 

[DrHJ]

To those of you who interviewed in USC, can you please let us know how many scenarios we get in MMI section? Also are they all dental and/or medical scenarios? Any response is appreciated.

 

[Punished Angeleno]

Waitlist changed to acceptance yesterday (Friday).

Congrats! Did you happen to send updates regularly? If so, by email or the ADEA AADSAS application portal?

I personally did not send any updates. But they encouraged us to so if you are volunteering or so, I would send them to their email.

The faculty at USC are great. I'm not sure why they would be rude to students. They treat us like future colleagues, which I think is important early on. I haven't really looked into faculty at other schools, but I'm sure the fairness/the way they treat students would be the same across the board.

 

[bracesforever]

Similar to some of you, I’m surprised that I haven’t received an interview from here yet. The faculty are great but it seems like the admissions committee that are evaluating the applications are not reviewing apps thoroughly. I can’t see anything wrong with my app but my stats are DAT: 21AA 25PAT and overall GPA: 3.2 pbGPA: 3.85. I don’t seem to know anything wrong with my application. Couple of my friends got an interview with lower stats.

Have you received a rejection or is your app still under review ?

[Xdentallos]

Just graduated from USC if anyone has anyone questions about D1-D4. Good luck this cycle!

Hey I have a question about the Financial aid. Is room and board + food included in the loan?? And approximately how much?

 

[melma18]

Still under review. I haven’t heard of anyone getting rejected before interview.

Where? on SDN?

To be extremely honest, it’s usually just luck or some other external factor at this point...

There’s a buuuunnnnch of ppl with similar stats or even better 🙁
I’m saying this bc I’m in the same boat.

But it’s okay! 🙂 Just keep waiting—don’t be discouraged!
We still have until end of March.

Hard work + luck = success! 🙂

Last year's thread: ***The Official USC Class of 2022 Interview/Acceptance Thread***

Hey everyone! I applied here last cycle and was accepted. While I will not be attending, I'm still available to answer any questions. Unfortunately I can't think of anyone who's attending 🙁 hopefully they answer back to this thread though.

Good luck everyone!

What was the interview style at this school?

 

[artist2022]

What was the interview style at this school?

I posted about it here: *** The Official USC School of Dentistry Class of 2023 Interview/Acceptance Thread ***
But the thing is, when I interviewed (in 2017), it was only a group interview. People this cycle have been saying that USC added MMI to the interview day.

Yes, you may borrow for room and board, I don't know the exact number but its somewhere around ~$30,000 per year. You can look on the website or call for the exact amount.

 

[jonah1234321]

Does anyone know when they will start sending out the next wave of acceptances?

Does anyone know when they will start sending out the next wave of acceptances?

According to last year's thread, it won't be out until mid/late Feb...

[jonah1234321]

Have any acceptances been sent out since the ones sent on Dec 3rd?

 

[bracesforever]

anyone know how many more seats are open?

 

[jonah1234321]

I spoke to one of the advisors and they said that they sent out admissions to fill less than half the class. But he could not tell me how many of those people actually accepted the offer.

 

[hiizbella]

I did my interview at USC like a few hours ago and my aadsas status just changed from invited to interview to waitlisted lol what the
