<p>its something like about 800-1000 apply to USC (this year im guessing its probabaly more)
about 100 get selected for the interview
45 make it
and about 30 decide to accept
so i mean, youve got pretty close to a 50% shot once youve got the interview. i think they just want to see if you can hold a conversation, are fun to be around, and are someone whom they want to work with for 8 years. come accross as friendly, inquisitive, educated, etc. and i think youll be just fine! i mean, youve already won a major part of the race if youre selected for the interview. you should be getting something in the mail, id like to say, by the end of january, but im not promising anything. i know for RHP you recieve the acceptance letter in mid-January (there are no interviews for RHP). Since RHP is a special program, and so is the BS/MD, im gussing they should be arriving at the same time, esp. cuz BS/MD has interviews in late January/Febraury.</p>
