"Why USC?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"How did I plan on making money/providing for my family if I wanted to work in a "county facility"?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"None of the questions were too difficult, however my student interviewer wasn't easy to talk to. He just fired off all of the questions he was supposed to ask and if we started going back and forth in a nice, conversational manner, he would stop it and go back to shooting off questions." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"SDN, read up on the school, read newspapers" Report Response
"The school's honor code, pass/not pass system, breakfast and coffee is provided before certain exams." Report Response
"My faculty interviewer did not really ask me anything about myself. He went out of his way to make me feel like my experiences were completely ordinary and at the end of my interview he asked me, "do you really think you have the stamina to make it through medical school? I mean, do you really think you have what it takes?" I have no idea what that was about." Report Response
"I guess I thought the medical campus was closer to the undergrad campus. If you are looking for a place to hang out with non-medschool people or even just a gym to work out in your down time -- expect to take a shuttle to the main campus (round trip, 45 mins)." Report Response
"I was really looking forward to interviewing at USC, but both the faculty and student interviewers really tainted my overall opinion of the school. The student interviewer seemed bored with giving interviews (his eyes glazed over before I started to speak), and the faculty guy seemed less interested in getting to know me and more interested in questioning my motivation (is anyone really in it for the money these days???). That aside the school offers a excellent opportunity to work at LAC-USC and the new hospital will be ready for the class of 2004." Report Response
