WELCOME! Starting this thread for all those applying during the 2015 cycle. Did anyone receive any emails for updates regarding the status of your application? And has anyone here gotten an interview date for the first tier yet? Good luck everyone!
 
how long ago did you send in your supplemental? i sent mine in on 9/27 and my pharmcas has been verified a while back but i haven't gotten any emails or anything... called them and said they'll update when they get it. should it take this long though?
 
Yeah I got an interview next week! Finished supplemental about 2 weeks ago and got an email saying they're reviewing my app about 10 days ago.
 
Has anyone else heard from USC? It's been 2 weeks since they began reviewing my app... I also heard that USC holds onto apps for those with unfinished prereqs and start reviewing others with completed prereqs. Hope that's not true cuz what's the point of applying early if they don't even consider the app with in-progress courses... Anyhow, hope they make some progress and start notifying applicants... just anxious and frustrated with this whole process. BTW, just got accepted to KGI and very excited but I still would like to go through the process with USC and Western before submitting the deposit. Good luck everyone!!!
 
I'ts not true Knox. I'm missing a prereq and still received an interview invitation. I think they send interview invites like 1-2 weeks before the date and there's still a lot of time before the Nov. one so relax haha 🙂

I got an email saying that my app is being processed on 10-6. After that... Nada! I also emailed them and all they could tell me is that they are currently in the process of selecting candidates for the November interview. 🙁 more waiting game.

at least you got the email 🙁 i didn't get an email about my supp or my pharmcas sigh... i called them several times and emailed twice but they're kind of rude/not helpful and not responsive.
the november interviews should be going out soon too. i dont think i'll get one because my app is getting delayed -____- but i hope you hear from them!!

Let's stay positive. You'll get an email soon. It is still early in the game. Just so frustrating and tired of waiting... Lol. This whole process is exhausting. Let's see what happens.
 
Just rec'd an interview invite for 11/13. Hope you guys got it too!!

Just got accepted!! Good luck to the rest of you guys!
Congrats! I was at the same interview but haven't received any emails from them sadly. Do you know if they send all emails out together?

If it's like the previous years, unfortunately they usually send them all out on the same day and then all of the AC emails after. Hopefully I'm wrong though. Good luck!!
 
omg congrats and good luck!!! still no confirmation for me....LOL
Thanks lilpea. Make sure you keep f/u with them. Cuz you submitted way earlier than I did so should've been reviewed by now...
 
How was the interview? And what type of essay questions? If you don't mind sharing.
Interview is chill. They're really nice and my only advice is to be and know yourself. I prepared a lot for the interview, but honestly, I would have done fine without it. It's just a casual conversation. The essay question is the same as every other school it seems this year, an ethical one.

I see. Thanks ChoSays! Congrats again!! Is USC your top choice? If it is then I bet you're sooo relieved!!!
 
Wow, the tuition for this program is through the roof!
 
Not yet, I'd expect some time this week
They might even wait until after Thanksgiving though... Hopefully I'm wrong. In the meantime, gonna enjoy Thanksgiving with family and friends. So over this process!!!
 
i know someone that got an interview for january recently, so they're probably in the process of sending them out.
 
going to USC, using the suggested tuition and cost of living costs on their website, will cost almost 400,000.

I would look for a cheaper school and a cheaper location unless you guys are expecting a huge scholarship.
 
this waiting game is so exhausting. I am waiting for an inteview invite. anyone else is on the same boat?
