The dedication of the students to their school. I havn't met one student who has ever said anything negative about the school. They all love the experience they've had and are glad they chose USC.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is very relaxed. The interview day doesn't start until twelve, and then you basically have two hours to eat and relax, and they will tell you a little bit about the school. The interviews seem like they fly by-only 2 interviews 30 minutes each. The stess level is really low-the interviews are very conversational and they are just trying to get a picture of your reasons for entering medicine and your motivation to go to their school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview process if very relaxed. After the interviews, you meet with the whole committee with the other interviewees. It is very important to mingle and talk to as many people as possible during this time.
