I heard from numerous of sources that they will do a "mock" PBL interview. What is this and how do I prepare for it?
 
This is true, and you really cant prepare for it. But do not fret my friend it is easy. They explain everything multiple times before you do it, you will be fine. Just read the PBL overview attachment in the invite email, this is all you need to know going in.

Also this is like the fourth or fifth thread called USC interview in the last week or so it seems like.

You want to impress the Interviewers? Do this:

1) Do not talk the whole time just to talk, but don't be super quiet. Do speak up once in a while
2) When someone says something knowledgeable or smart say "Very good point, good job"
3) When they ask for a volunteer to either read the case or write on the poster, DO it!
4) DO NOT interrupt anyone, even if they are completely saying a bunch of baloney!
5) Smile!!!

The point is NOT to get the right answer but to see how well you can work in a group and if can critically think and come up with ideas/hypotheses!

Good luck, you will do great if you do what I told you.

P.S. by the way at the end they will ask you to answer 2 questions that they pull out of the box, don't fret. They are easy. Even if you say something stupid it's not a big deal. They focus more on the PBL. I completely butchered my answers. lol
