How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on the school's curriculum, went over amcas and secondary responses.

What impressed you positively?

the happiness of the students. the move to a pass/fail system(it used to be honors/pass/fail). the gross anatomy lab is the best gross anatomy lab i have seen out of the 5 other ga labs i've been to. there is no smell!!!!! county-usc is the busiest hospital i have ever seen. beds are literally stacked on each other in the ER with more patients lining the wall on chairs. if u want to be in the ER county-usc is the place to be. training at county would probably get you the most clinical exposure as a med student because of the large volume of patients and plethora of cases there.

What impressed you negatively?

county-usc isn't exactly a brand spankin new paperless techno-wonder hospital...however, would i rather train at GWU's new hospital or at county-usc? county for sure because i would be exposed to waaay more cases, which is more important than being in a spiffy hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

UCLA has nothing on USC school of medicine except perhaps for prestige and a much cheaper tuition.(this is coming from a bruin)
