How did you prepare for the interview?

looked at some dental exams but it was no use for this interview

What impressed you positively?

the presentation given by a faculty member was very cool. he is super smart and funny. and it is the only positive part about this interview

What impressed you negatively?

the time spent for observing the 1st year student discussion session was long and boring. make us feel very stupid for being there sitting for about an hour, not making any noises and staring at those people constantly. even worse than watching the monkeys play in the zoo!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the black woman in the admission office is a monster! you will belive me once you see her. the financial person was so proud of the highest tuation they requist in the nation while i doubt if he is aware of the fact that usc is not the best school in the nation.

What are your general comments?

spent whole day there. they tried very hard to waste our time in order to make it a "whole day"
