What impressed you positively?

The weather. LA county hospital. The lunch was really nice.

What impressed you negatively?

I had 3 hours to kill between my first interview and the tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Traffic is variable in LA - I should have left more time to drive to USC. I ended up barely making it in time for my first interview and didn't have time to catch my breath.

What are your general comments?

My faculty interviewer was hard to read, which made me nervous. I couldn't tell how well that interview went even though the questions weren't hard. He wouldn't nod or smile during the interview. My student interview went fine though. I was impressed with the amount and quality of clinical experience that students get at LA county. I wish there was some sort of presentation about the curriculum or financial aid or something. The tour was interesting, but it felt weird walking through the ER and gawking at the patients. The lunch is very posh - at the faculty club. Overall, I think it would be a great school to go to.
