Guide to Explore USC and Interviews

<p>I'd DEFINITELY ask for business cards/contact information, even if you don't need to follow up, but you should. They're taking time out of their schedule, too.</p>

<p>"Also, remember, this is LA - depending on where you're from, you might either find it really cold or pleasantly chilly They're predicting in the 60's and that's probably going to be about right."</p>

<p>60's sounds positively boiling compared to the negative temperatures I've been living in lately. I'd show up in shorts and a tank top, even if it were raining. lol</p>

<p>LOL me too. michigan has below freezing temps right now. it kinda blows.</p>

<p>should we give them our business cards? i work for the city and i have my own business card.</p>

<p>Probably not necessary. It might be more useful to send the professor/admissions officer a thank you e-mail right after the interview :)</p>

<p>Now that the Explore USC/Presidential sessions are over, I would be interested in anyone's impressions. Were you grilled or was it an informal chat session?</p>

<p>USC says that a nominee's chances of getting a Presidential are ~60%. This could be read two ways: 60% of nominees receive a Presidential offer, or 60% of nominees end up accepting a Pres. offer. That is, I suppose a lot of kids in this category also receive similar scholarship offers from other top schools, so some will end up declining a Pres. offer from USC. So, if the second interpretation is correct, someone whose first choice is USC would actually have a better than 60% chance of being offered a Presidential?</p>

<p>Thanks for any insights.</p>

<p>They told me that I was the only accounting major the interview for Trustee, so is this very good or very bad for me?</p>

<p>You have now asked that same question in two threads.</p>

<p>Oh, sorry about that, I got kinda confused by the two threads having pretty much the same topics, getting pretty late on the east coast lol.</p>

<p>DaBigChina - I'd guess the odds are slightly in your favor as each school is given a certain number of scholarships to hand out. However, Leventhal as a more specialized school might give out less scholarship money, so it's not a guarantee by any means.</p>

<p>Has anyone recieved anything yet?</p>

<p>About Trustee, that is</p>
