"Very relaxed. The tour guides were awesome and one of my tour guides happened to know my student interviewer really well which helped me break the ice during my interview. The tour has no bearing on getting in or not, but talk to them as much as you can because you get a lot of good info that you can use to your advantage. My faculty interviewer was also really nice and as a USC graduate herself she had a lot of school pride. Both interviews were very conversational and actually fun, the key is to not take it so seriously and overall RELAX." Report Response
