<p>Did anyone else happen to receive the email?</p>
<p>yup just got the e-mail. congrats on getting an interview! i'm excited/nervous but i cant wait : ) are you for sure going to USC?</p>
<p>yeah, I got the email about a week ago...I am interested to know the applicant pool...I understand that it is for southern California residents, but how many people received interviews? Is an interview a good indication of acceptance?</p>
<p>Soccergal, my daughter applied to SC fall of '06 and applied for all of the legacy scholarships. She got called for an interview after she received her rejection notice on April 1st. The lady was shocked and embarrassed to say the least. A pretty big lack of communication on the admissions department part. They do tell you that an interview is not indicitive of acceptance, but we're still NOT feeling the Trojan love around here...</p>
<p>My son actually was given the Town and Gown scholarship. He chose to attend another school, but he said the women interviewing him were great.
Be sure to ask what YOU can do for their group! One of the keys to being successful when interviewing is to know all about the "givers" of the money and to show that you are not just a "taker"!</p>
<p>Has anyone gone through their Town and Gown interview yet this year? Mine is coming up in early March and I don't quite know what to expect. I'm excited nonetheless!</p>
