How did you prepare for the interview?

read over my AMCAS and secondary. Mock interviewed. Read this site.

What impressed you positively?

The students are so happy. They really have a lot of support systems set up for the students here. In addition, training at LA county would be an incredible experience.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing about the school at all. I would not live more than 10 miles from campus though as LA miles are exceptionally bad traffic-wise.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How low stress everything was.

What are your general comments?

After interviewing here and seeing the campus, USC has pushed itself up to my #1 choice. (It was at #3 pre-interview). Everyone was so friendly, even students I approached at random to ask directions. They have really nice facitlties for the students, including a lounge with big leather couches and a big screen TV -maybe why tuition is so high :-)Seriously though, I think I would be very happy at this school, and would recieve a top quality education. LA county hospital is incredible, I am 100% sure I would see cases there that I would not see anywhere else!
