How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, talked with students at USC, read up on ethical issues, relaxed, made sur I had plenty of time to find the interviewer's office.

What impressed you positively?

County Hospital and how you get lots of rare cases. The early clinical training. The sense of humor exemplified by the students. The MDL desks. Great lunch at the faculty club.

What impressed you negatively?

none really. maybe the jail on the 13th floor of County but that could be considered "interesting" not "negative". The disparity in treatment between patients at County Hospital and USC Hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

no surprises. the entire experience went as smoothly as expected.

What are your general comments?

my best interview thus far. My faculty interviewer was very sweet, relaxed, and gave me a feeling of reassurance that USC is a great choice. First and second year students were all very friendly and we chatted a lot. They were all very happy about their choice to attend USC.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
