"looked over secondary, browsed student doctor feedbacks." Report Response
"the students all seemed to be very enthusiastic and happy about usc, genuinely. i did not know this, but keck uses pass/fail only during the first two years of basic science, so it eliminates competition in the class and students seem very close and supportive of one another. the usc health science campus itself is very nice, and they are opening up the new l.a. county hospital next year. the lunch was awesome and the tour was the best i have been on.

"there is no way around it, the surrounding area is miserable and its a shame that it is so disconnected from usc's main campus." Report Response

"the interview day seems a little bit disorganized as it approaches because you have no idea about what you need to do until you call the school and your faculty interviewer the day before to confirm, but once i was there it was the most impressive interview day i have had thusfar. my faculty interviewer was 30 minutes late, but she was very apologetic about it and we hit it off nicely. the interview is closed file, so you talk about your background and interests before you get into anything heavy. it was very conversational. my student interview was with a second year and she was awesome. she tried to engage me on my interests and i felt like i was sitting at a coffee shop with a friend moreso than having an admissions interview. she answered all my questions and made a very positive impression on me about the attitude of most keck students and the comradery of the class. the tour was the best i have been on and gave us a look at the medical school, the health science campus, and county hospital. the tour guides were very open and encouraging. the lunch was unbelievable, period. bottom line: i was impressed and my opinion of keck is much more favorable than it was before. i heard horror stories about county hospital, but one of the students put it best whan they said that the diversity of cases that they see at county can prepare you for anything in medicine. the surrounding area is not nice, but the health science campus itself (which is huge) is very attractive, new, and safe."
