You don't need to prepare. The school evaluates on how well you cooperate with others. If you're anti-social and selfish then go to another school. Just don't be a jerk.

What makes this school great is that everyone treats each other like family. Beautiful campus on sunny days!

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition. But it's worth it! Ask any Trojan Alumni.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

A USC dental student wrote the Trojan theme song, "Fight On"

What are your general comments?

This is the coolest school! The school ranked within the top 10 schools in the Board Exams. It was the most laid back and enjoying interview. PBL is pretty fun and you get more time to study with this curriculum.
