<p>Hello!
I just got into USC as a finalist for the Presidentials Scholars Program and I had a few questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>What type of questions do they ask?</li>
<li>Is there anything I can do at the interview to get bumped up to a Trustee Scholarship?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Congratulations!!!

<p>I will try to find some old threads about the interviews (I am still getting used to the “new College Confidential,” so I am not as fast at searching yet…) and post them.</p>
<p>Here’s one: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/1460031-explore-usc-experiences.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/1460031-explore-usc-experiences.html</a>

<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Hi, I got in to USC as a Trustee Finalist and had a question about the Explore USC program. Has anyone signed up for their Explore USC date yet? The packet I received in the mail says that I should go to the events page of the USC Connect site, but its not there… I’m guessing USC just hasnt put it up because not all applicants have received notice yet, but has anyone else been able to register?</p>
<p>Also- thank you alememom for all the information- super helpful! </p>
<p>The Explore tab will become active under your “Events” tab in the next few days (I am guessing Wednesday, but time will tell). In the meantime, here are the dates:</p>
<p>Monday - Tuesday
February 24 - 25, 2014</p>
<p>Thursday - Friday
February 27 - 28, 2014</p>
<p>Monday - Tuesday
March 3 - 4, 2014</p>
<p>Thursday - Friday
March 6 - 7, 2014</p>
<p>Monday - Tuesday
March 10 - 11, 2014</p>
<p>And sample agenda: <a href=“https://esdweb.esd.usc.edu/resrsvp/docs/S_Explore_Agenda.pdf”>https://esdweb.esd.usc.edu/resrsvp/docs/S_Explore_Agenda.pdf</a></p>
<p>Trustee scholars have, in the past, been offered the first two dates listed above.</p>
Congratulations! Was the snail mail you received was in a large envelope (8x11) or in a standard sized envelope?

This is a thread from last year, but it comes in a large yellow envelope!
