Explore USC 2006, are you going? (Feb 23 - 24)

<p>hey all, i am a trustee scholar at usc and i also was pretty involved in the interview process last year and i will also be a host this next week as well ... if anyone has any questions about the interview process - who the interviewers will be, things to emphasize, the kinds of people who end up getting the scholarships etc. i would be happy to answer all your questions, <a href="mailto:fijan@usc.edu">fijan@usc.edu</a> or via IM Genx1986 (which is also on my profile on this site)</p>

<p>Geez, I just came out of work (from my midnight shift at Leavey) and there are A LOT of scholarship prospects on campus! (at least I assume they are scholarship prospects, cuz campus looks awfully crowded for a Friday morning plus almost everyone has some sort of a fancy outfit on)</p>

<p>Good luck to all scholarship candidates!</p>

<p>do you know anything about the Bac MD program? i was hoping to get advice about the interview. :P</p>

<p>hahaha you're so helpful. thanks! by the way, i was already accepted to berkeley and harvard, so...</p>

<p>So, now that it's over, how was Explore USC 2006? </p>

<p>Was it what you were expecting?
How were your roommate/hosts?
If you were a host, how was your hs guest?
Pros & cons regarding campus culture, classes, professors, people, politics, social scene, dorms, food, etc?</p>

<p>Berkeley Dude,
I bet USC students know enough to use a spell checker before they post a put-down! I am APPALLED by the education Berkeley students receive HaHa.</p>

<p>Berkeley Dude, you said you have an exam. So why don't you get the hell off of the computer and go study instead of bashing other schools.</p>

<p>Haha, don't you love people like Berkeley Dude, who choose to make the most random posts in the most random thread. If he was smart, at least he would have started a new thread...</p>

<p>LMAO, this Berkeley Dude's other posts were pretty lame, everyone just leave this guy in a corner by himself, he'll be fine. He's just jealous because he got rejected from 'SC, so now he is trying to make his redemption......</p>

<p>The interview itself was really good and casual
somehow I was expected to be seated before a PANEL of 3 ppl like in those movies, but we just ended up sitting around a little desk in an office. At least for Marshall anyways.</p>

<p>Look forward to a bunch of info sessions the first day, you wil def. learn alot about ur options... nuff said about those.</p>

<p>The only thing I think could be improved is the evening activity. They only had one planned for us; it was really fun and entertaining, but it was finished by ~8o'clock and it was up to the hosts/prospectives to figure out what to do for the rest of the night.</p>

<p>On friday, I heard that engineering interviewees talking about how they were asked about a particular current event for their interview.
So, just a note for prospective Viterbi students in the next Explore(s), they might or might not do that again</p>

<p>is there anything weird/tricky that marshall does for the interview? should i brush up on current events jenny? also, how long was the interview?</p>

<p>Just curious to hear from Trustee Interview students, if you have received your confirmation, and total Financial Aid package? Thanks.</p>
