I got an interview at USC about 3 weeks after I submitted my secondary. I also turned in my secondary kind of late (late November), so hopefully that means that they thought highly of me. Ironically, I thought that my answers to their questions were not very good at all.
Having said that, my GPA = 3.66, MCAT 34Q. I'd say that I'm "average" in everything else. If it matters, I live about 5-6 miles away from USC Med.
About what I originally wrote, does anyone know if getting an interview earlier means anything at all? I mean, are they quicker handing out interviews to applicants they're seriously interested in?
