since invites are already being sent for late Feb does that mean I likely won't get an invite if they end in March? Also how many people are invited for each interview day?

Typically it's 8 per PBL group and there are 4 groups so 32 students total

Hi! It is just a PBL group interview followed by an info session and a tour of the building. Super chill interview, just be yourself, keep a welcome and positive environment, and allow everyone in your group to participate and have a chance to talk.
 
what are the odds of getting an interview at this point? I feel like they've done way more dates compared to last cycle...

This includes uploading a screenshot of your acceptance letter and your AADSAS ID.

For the 'Interview Documents' that USC asks us to bring, is it okay if my responses are in a small font? I felt like there wasn’t enough space for each question, so I had to write really small.

Yeah I barely write anything tbh, just a couple of sentences. Some I even had to leave them blank or “N/A” I don’t think they even care.
 
I interviewed in november and was waitlisted on decision day. What are the odds i get off the waitlist?

I heard its pretty high because usc has a low yield but we will see and i think waitlist movement will begin in march.

Same ): sent a letter of interest and nothing. When did you submit your app?
Click to expand...
i applied late in december, they acc just responded to my interest letter email like an hour ago saying they're going to put it on my file. hopefully something good comes out of it. good luck!!
 
Does anyone know if they are done sending invites this cycle? I interviewed with them last cycle, feel that I improved my app, and have not gotten one this cycle. Have also sent letter of interest. Is it over for me at this point lol.
 
Does anyone know if March 17 is the last interview date? I emailed admissions and no response yet

Judging from the previous years it will be beginning of march. Last year a chunk of people on here got accepted 3/1 and the year before it was 3/7

Congrats!! Do you mind sharing your stats
 
Are there any reapplicants here that have not gotten an interview invite? I got one last cycle and not this cycle but am confused as to why.
 
the fb group indicates there's approx 30 students currently. does anyone know how accurate of a reflection it is of committed students in reality?

Usually 20~ of the people are first year students in the group
 
i know this is purely speculation but when do we think the next wave of acceptances is coming? I'm a post-interviewee and I'm getting so antsy and anxious waiting. it seems like usc historically sends out a wave of acceptances within the first or second week of march, usually on a Friday, so I would guess maybe it's coming next Fri 3/7?

I hope so
 
Congrats, does that mean the people that didn’t get an email are getting rejected? I interviewed 1/22 but haven’t heard back and I sent an LOI about 2-3 weeks ago.

there will be some movement up until the 21st or so...
 
Just out of curiosity were any reapplicants accepted? Also my friend interviewed in February and is wondering if any Feb interviews heard back
