<p>Cece, it said "business attire is appropriate," so I'm guessing suits. My interviews at MSU and UIC were mostly full of people who wore suits, too. (And I think that goes for Trustee interviews and Bacc/MD)</p>
<p>It's supposed to be in the 70s on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in LA! I'm so siked to get into weather that's above freezing and not windy :).</p>
<p>Med school interview=suit (preferably charcoal or navy blue if you're a guy)</p>
<p>Ladies should be wearing either a pant suit or a nice skirt w/ jacket, a nice shell (I think they call it a shell), and pantyhose. I've seen a couple of female applicant wearing flowery dresses and such and they really stood out. You should be dressed conservatively and give off an aura of professionalism.</p>
<p>thanks guys! i'm so glad i actually thought of asking that.. i was seriously thinking of just wearing just a button down shirt. now at least i can borrow my mom's suit or something, since i have no time to shop for my own!</p>
<p>Wow guys, that was a total blast! Best of luck to everyone! Fight on :) haha.</p>
<p>yea the whole process was actually amazing. i wasnt entirely set on this program before, but after this, i really want to. good luck to everyone, esp those i met this week! i wish i could be in this with all of you guys!</p>
<p>Did they talk about your financial aid package when you interview?</p>
<p>No, because the official USC "financial aid package" comes after they see the tax documents and everything in April. Documents are due March 3, btw.</p>
<p>They need to see tax documents even if you interviewed for the Trustee Scholarship??</p>
<p>of course. its not guaranteed you would get the money</p>
<p>Yup. Even if you interview for Trustee, you can end up with no merit money.</p>
<p>Interviews and the whole Explore USC experience was awesome.</p>
<p>sweet, how many of you stayed overnight with a host? Plus, if you flew in like I will, how did you manage to carry a sleeping bag, pillow, etc.</p>
<p>If your host is a good host, they should provide you with a bed/couch/sofa/futon and a pillow/blankets. I would bring my own towel though.</p>
<p>haha agree with the towel. just wondering because usc said to bring a sleeping bag and pillow but i can imagine that'd be cumbersome...</p>
<p>I completely disagree with norcal. A lot of the hosts are freshmen and sophomores who live in dorms and don't have a bed/couch/sofa/futon to provide...so I think that's asking a lot of a host. I flew out there and I checked a bag, then carried on my garment bag, my messenger bag and my sleeping bag (it had a tote). Yes, I'm aware that was 3 items and I broke FAA rules, but no one seemed to care. It also was cumbersome, but when I saw other people carrying the same stuff I felt better, haha.</p>
<p>I'm still of the opinion that someone who signs up to host should at least provide blankets/pillow/air mattress/bed. But, apparently that's just me.</p>
<p>Most of the dorms on campus do not allow (physically, space wise) for students to have a couch/futton etc.</p>
<p>definitely bring a sleeping bag! if your airliner doesn't allow that many bags, you'll have to stuff it in one of your suitcases then. that's what i did. </p>
<p>i stayed overnight, and both times all the explore/baccmd brought towels and sleeping bags, and we all needed them</p>
<p>Why don't they let you guys room w/ med students, especially med students who came through the BS/MD program? I would think they would be able to provide much more insight than some USC freshman.</p>
<p>hey guys, I have my interview on the 5th, any tips about the interview? Also, is there anything different about the way they interview for USC?</p>
