How did you prepare for the interview?

Not much in particular; just tried to ensure that I was calm and confident.

What impressed you positively?

The professor in the Gross Anatomy happened to be present during our tour, and gave us an impromtu speech about what we could expect in our years at USC. He expressed the sense of community in the school, explained the exhaustive trials of anatomy, and shared how his own experiences in the school had stayed with him for years. It was nice to see an unrehearsed, candid viewpoint.

What impressed you negatively?

Although the technology used in the classrooms and labs were top-of-the-line, some of the buildings seemed to be showing their age.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was surprised to find that our interviewers would decide whether to accept us immediately following having met us. All candidates are then notified within a week.

What are your general comments?

It was a casual, relaxed interview experience. It was nice to see the campus and how much student support is in place.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
