Explore USC Questions

I got admitted this week, and I was looking at the admitted student events. I read that Explore USC is mandatory for scholarship consideration.

I just signed up for April 11th to go on my own (I live an hour away, no biggie). I read that there’s an overnight stay, however the sample schedule ends at 6PM? There’s nothing mentioned about details with the overnight stay either.

Can someone please clarify?

There are two kinds of Explore programs. There’s the scholarship Explore, which has passed already as scholarship decisions are out, and there’s the Explore for regular admits (the April ones).

You can stay overnight if you choose to, but it is not mandatory. If you do stay overnight, your host (a current USC student) will pick you up after the official programs are over, and you will stay in their apartment for the night.
