Hi! For those who were invited for an interview to UOP and/or USC, what kind of stats did you have? What do you think got you that interview?

Since I had their average GPA and DAT (or at least as reported on a few surveys, GPA 3.5 and DAT AA 19), I thought I might have a chance at an interview.. I also have good EC's, LORs, and a personal statement (I have been told this by non-California schools). I do want a shot at staying in CA though.. any thoughts? Is the applicant pool for CA schools really competitive this year? Maybe lots of applicants?

Hey OP, i just received a rejection letter from UOP. In the rejection letter they told me that their incoming class averages for the DAT are:

AA: 21
TS:21
PAT:21
RC: 21
QR:19
BIO: 21
GC: 22
OC: 22

they also said if u have scores 17 or lower they recommend retaking the DAT.
