USC Students

So I'm curious since the bulk of SDN posts that talk about USC are from the fiasco years of 2006-2009 so I figure a little update would be nice for everyone. I'm assuming since those years, things have been fixed with the new dean running things?

I DOUBT the graduation rate is anywhere below 80% ( I haven't heard any recent numbers from students though)

Is it still a struggle to get your clinic requirements done? Is it difficult to find someone to sign off on your work? Are you still treated harshly in front of the patient by the clinic professors when critiquing your work?

Based on the other thread you have posted, you probably had interview at USC during last cycle and trying to decide on a school.
I had interview there during last cycle myself.
According to what the personnel from admission office explained, the pass rate for board exam was low when they first introduced PBL, but now it's back to high.
I do not exactly remember the percentage given to us, but I believe it was around 95%.

Yes, I checked my interview notes and I also have 95% board pass rates. But specifically I'm interested if the graduation rates are any longer a concern. I've read just about every post about USC (usually complaints from ~10 years ago) and something eye-0pening was apparently an 18% graduation rate in I think 2006. So any current student perspective on how things are the same/different would be beneficial.
