"How the students get to experience dealing with a wide variety of peoples and backgrounds during clinicals" Report Response
"The student interview. Interviewer seemed pretty apathetic, no eye contact, no smiles, no response at all what-so-ever. Entire burden on me to make sure that the conversation kept going. The student seemed like he was doing this as a resume builder. Who knows?!" Report Response
"Directions! If you drive make sure you know how to get there. can be confusing! And leave early cuz of LA's notorious traffic." Report Response
"Ok tour, good lunch. What sucked the most was that my student interview gave the impression that he was bored with all my answers to his questions. And to make it worse I ended up having no faculty interview but instead sat in the ER watching my faculty interviewer, an ER doc, work. That part was awesome to watch since USC's hospital is the LA County Hospital and their ER is one of the busiest! but I dont think that will help in the long run and the admissions committee will probably rely heavily on my student interview."
