Did anyone get it?

22

I didn’t get an interview but my friend from the same city did.

23

I got an interview! Asian male from Cincinnati, Ohio.
Stats:
1520 SAT
3.9 UW/4.5 W
7 AP’s (2 5’s, 3 4’s, 1 3)
Rec letters from principal, journalism teacher, computer science teacher. All 9/10

Essays: focused on divergent personality that makes me good for academy.

ECs: all startup related/inter-disciplinary on the state or national level.

24

64 students were given interview for the weekend of February 16th-19th each lasting 20 minutes.

25

I got an interview! I’m super excited!

26

So they came on schedule. Not saying called it, just noting for next year.

Congrats to those on to the next step. Sorry to those that didn’t get an interview, it is such a small program - you are meant to do your thing in another way, that’s all! Just keep doing it!

27

Did any internal transfers get an email? I’m hoping that we don’t have to wait another week.

28

Son got an interview! From SoCal.

29

Didn’t get the interview

30

Has anyone been notified for an interview yet? Also, if you got selected to be interviewed for Iovine and Young, does that mean you have been accepted into USC?

31

Hey y’all! I haven’t been on this thread before but I came by to say I was invited to interview! Good luck to everyone <3

32

So does this mean you’ve been accepted into USC, just not the program yet?

33

I have no idea. Does anyone know what to expect at the interview?

34

I got an email saying I got an interview! Caucasian male from the Bay Area. I’m kind of worried that my SAT score isn’t as competitive as some other applicants.

Stats:
1560 SAT
4.0 UW/4.7 W
8 AP’s (3 5’s, 3 4’s, 1 3)
Letters of Recommendation all really, really good
Personality type: ENFJ
Zodiac: Capricorn
Internships: SpaceX

Just wondering, did anyone get a message about a “pre-interview skype call”? I heard some other people talking about it.

35

@obsessedwithtv Just be yourself!

36

It sounds like you might have a chance @DreamCollegez22

37

Not necessarily. I’m a current member of the iovine and young academy. Some people who got an interview did not get into the University. It all depends on whether the IYA staff like you

38

So glad I found this thread.

I missed the Dec. 1 application deadline, but hear me out…

Do you think interview weekend is an invite-only type of thing? I think they may admire the perseverance if I showed up and proved myself as worthy. What could go wrong?

I think I’ll get my flight today. YOLO. Music is a personal passion of mine and I’d love nothing better than to be taught by Jimmy & Dre.

See everyone in a couple of weeks :slight_smile:

39

Did anyone get a call from Jimmy? I heard a rumor that students were getting phone calls…

40

I got an interview too! Anglo Saxon/WASP male from Silicon Valley near Apple and such.

Statistics:
1140 SAT
20 ACT
No AP tests

Letters of recommendation: 2 Fortune 500 CEOs (I can’t name names bc of NDA)
Personality type: INTJ - super rare, same as Elon Musk
Internships: 2 big Wall Street fintech firms (again, NDA) and government big data collection startup
Height: 6’4"
Mile time: 4:52 PR
Blood pressure: 70/50 to keep super healthy
I wake up at 4am everyday to read up on the status of disruption and go for a 10 miler. Jimmy’s famous for doing the same thing.

I know my scores aren’t much but Dre thought my preinterview phone call went really well so I’m hopeful and I know my money helps too. I look forward to meeting y’all!
