ekc5755 31 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Still working on my supplemental app, and figuring out if I meet the general biology requirement. It’s been a process. Good luck everyone and congrats to those of you who have this app done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twonks2993 9 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hey guys! When you mailed in your money order for the supplemental fee, did you include any additional information in the envelope other than the payment? Thank you in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cam999 2 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Has anyone gotten any confirmation from the school? I sent in my CASPA, supplemental app, and money order but I haven't gotten any emails! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got an overall confirmation email when they received my fees about a week after I mailed the fees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PAmila 0 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hi everyone! Does anyone know when interview invites are usually sent out for USC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Christine616 45 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 ^ Although they are rolling admission I think the fact that they have a specific deadline that they recommend applicants apply by (9/1 vs their actual deadline of 11/1) I think they probably won't send out interview invites until after 9/1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got verified a week ago and I still haven't received an email that they received my app in addition to my supplemental and money order. I sent an email because I submitted my supplemental and money order while I was waiting to be verified (06/24/2020). I'll let you know what they say! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pa98173jd 189 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I recieved an email confirmation yesterday. This was 11 days after the last step of my application (sending the money order) was completed. The email said there will be interviews from September until March. Good luck future Trojans! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been to two information sessions so far and they recommend you get everything in by 9/1 so I think up until that date they are still reviewing applications and then they'll start interviews when after that. From what they told me, they are still discussing how to perform virtual interviews given this current COVID-19 pandemic and it seems like they have finalized any interview plans.

xtcine 3 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 From what I gathered from last year's thread, I don't think we need to sign up for a youSC account since we already filled everything out on CASPA, and we don't need to do anything with the 10-digit ID. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cllliu 17 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Does anyone know if they view updates we've made to CASPA after initial submission to their program? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jphan 0 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I submitted to Caspa 7/1 and my money order was finally delivered to USC 7/15 but I haven't heard anything from the school. How long did you guys have to wait to hear that they received your money order and application was complete? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claureka 0 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Can anyone briefly explain what to expect for the supplemental? Im really scared bc it says it must be done in one sitting- how long did it take you to complete the supplemental? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have a template of the supplemental application so you know what questions they will ask you. Here's the link to the template that's on their website. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have a template of the supplemental application so you know what questions they will ask you. Here's the link to the template that's on their website. In the supplemental app one of the questions asks about if you've gotten a C, D, F, or a W in any classes. I got 1 C+ in a class that wasn't a prereq, but I'm not sure if I should talk about it since its a C+ and not a C. Do you guys think the question is referring to any kind of C (C-, C, C+) or strictly speaking a C and below? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ekc5755 31 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 It’s probably referring to any kind of C. However, I think it gives you an opportunity to talk about your strengths as a candidate so embrace it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PA20KA 7 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I got the email that my application was under review back in June (June 5) and I haven’t received an email with the 10 digit ID. Do you think I should email them? Or is that too forward? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last year, I received the 10 digit ID and it didn't serve any purpose in the process of being admitted. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would email them and see if they have any upcoming information sessions. That's how I signed up for mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
