<p>YES, i’m so glad this thread was made. i was accepted last friday, and received my Trustee scholarship candidate letter saturday! i’m extremely excited, but i’m also really nervous about the explore USC program. i actually have a lot of questions, haha. i guess i’ll just make a list?</p>
<ul>
<li><p>i know that interview questions are mainly based on what major you applied for, but what if you applied undecided? my major was undeclared for CLAS, so i’m just wondering what to expect. i read that the questions are pretty general for undecided applicants, but i’m not sure. i don’t have a problem with expanding on what i put on my application if i’m asked, but i’m worried about those questions that come from left-field. </p></li>
<li><p>how likely is it that a Trustee interviewee will be offered no scholarship at all? i’m already scared about being bumped down to Dean’s (which actually wouldn’t be that bad), or not getting anything at all. i’m coming all the way from NC, so it’d be really disappointing if this whole process was all for nothing! aside from getting to experience life on campus, of course.</p></li>
<li><p>what’s the “evening activity” that ends the first day? (: just curious, aha. and what are your parents supposed to be doing during this time?</p></li>
<li><p>whoever comes with you, they stay overnight at a nearby hotel, right? my mom’s coming along so i’m just making sure. i never saw it directly stated in any of the explore USC info pages.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Nikara, thanks so much for all the info! that answered a lot of questions i initially had about the interview.</p>
