i got an interview invite but i'm not sure if i should go....still debating...
 
what are your reasons for wanting to attend there? i just want some other feedback/opinions from other people.
 

I got an interview invitation via email last Friday (03/02) and received the package yesterday. But, I haven't decided which date I gonna to have my interview done.
Is anyone know what question they gonna ask in the interview? Have anyone ever had interview at USC? Please share your experience to me. I would highly appreciate your help.

hi what are your stats and where are you from?? thank you..🙂
 
Also got an interview invite last Friday - thought you might be interested to know (I was) that they said their class in only half full.

Also- I withdrew, so hopefully someone who waiting for an invite may get one sooner... I hope.

I got an invite last friday too...
From what i hear, you shouldn't worry about the interview...there won't be a one-on-one interview and you won't be asked any personal questions...it'll be a pbl (just like their program) interview...they just wanto see how u interact with the rest of the group, I guess
I'm having my interview pretty soon so I'll let u know how it goes after i'm done...
 
I also got one last friday -- I declined though, after talking to my friend who goes there right now 🙁... but then again, I applied late to USC (end of oct) out of panic

I got an inite last friday too. Besides PBL interview, I have one-on-one personal interview as well since I had invited for interview last 2006 cycle. Is anyone have the same situation or hear any experience from friends? Please share with me. Thanks........:luck:

One of my current classmates had the same interview experience last year and he said that it was very relaxed.....the one-on-one interviewer basically asked him like one question, i think it was "is USC your first choice?" or something like that, and that was about it. I dont know if thats the case for everyone's interviews but he said it wasn't stressful at all. Hope this helps!

I know I PM'ed you this already but just thought i'd post it here too so if anyone else is curious about the personal interview they can read on as well..GOOOLUCK ALL!!! 😀

Hiiii!!! Welll...I was in the same boat as you...interviewed last year but didn't get in and had a personal interview this year and GOT IN!!!! The personal interview is really chill...after you do all the other activities, you go on a personal interview. It was really relaxed...just asked me what i've done to improve my application since last year, if i've interviewed anywhere else/why go to USC then...What's ur first choice? why dental school...she asked me pretty typical questions....anyways GOOOOODLUCCKKKKK!!! Hope to see you as a TROJAN too as wellll.

Michael!

are you an in-state or out-of-state student?
 
im still waiting to get an interview, i interviewed last year in march and got waitlisted. and i got that status letter from sc like 2 weeks ago, how much longer does it take for an interview after that letter?
 
BMRBOY.....

When did you interview this year at USC? What are your stats?

Thanks!
 
those with an interview, does USC's own update website say under review still..or something else?

anyone heard anything else?

im still waiting to hear SOMETHING from them. 🙁

I'm still waiting also. Mine says "no status". I heard from another member the status does change and usually you get a letter in the mail saying your application is under critical review which is the last level. After that if your granted an interview I guess you get an invite? I'm sure someone else can elaborate.
 
i got that letter months ago....a long time ago. still nothing.
 
how long ago did you get it? My letter was dated feb. 20th, and I think I got it on like the 26th.
 
do they contact you for interviews through mail or e-mail?
 
Has anyone heard from USC for an interview recently????
 
i cancelled my interview with USC....couple wks ago
 
my friend found out today that she got an interview with USC...i don't remember when it is, but they are still interviewing.
 
I just got an email today inviting me for an interview.

It listed three dates:

Thursday, April 5
Monday, April 23
Wednesday, April 25

And said that these are the last ones being offered. Just wanted to share the info.

I called and signed up for the 5th.

I've already sent a deposit elsewhere, but the opportunity to stay in SoCal beckons...

Any tips on the interview here? a little practice pbl, eh? haha
 
I'd much rather go to an ivy career change

haha, nice memory.

I would too; but my family & friends are all in socal. And i keep hearing about how "it doesn't matter where you went to dschool" and it makes sense to me; how many ppl can say what school their dentist went to?

also, sc connects me to a vast alumni network here in socal and keeps me near enough to hear about any openings for practices later.

caught between wanting to live in another part of the states for a bit and staying near support...

we'll, we'll see if I even get in first...
