That's very nice of you! 🙂

However, the link you've posted doesn't work. Do you want us to join your "USC ASPID CLASS 2015" group on Facebook or have you created a separate group?

Good luck to all candidates who got an invitation @ USC. Every year most preps are Class II or/and PFM crown or porcelain crown on typodont. Two years ago they asked for wax carving for upper central. Last year they asked them to carve a circle / triangle and square, it's just made to see your hand skills.
Regarding the second day - it's called a PBL session - problem bases learning, that's the way they learn @ USC. The purpose is to show you how they do pbls and how will you interact with others. Just be your self.
Good luck to all of you
Fight On 🙂

So what exactly is PBL? I mean, Do we have to do something? Is there a test or something? Or it's just like an orientation?
Thanks

Hello I'm ASPID 14 🙂
Here is my experience -
Last year we were about 150 in the interview and 34 were accepted.
On the 2nd day
My exam consisted of two preps - PFM #9 and CVC #30. Also we had wax carving #9.
The 1st day was a PBL session, were they see how you interact with others and if you know to speak good English. There isn't any personal interview.
If anyone needs any help let me know. Good luck to all.
