I want to apply to USC this coming summer; what are your chances with a 3.72 / 516 MCAT?

My friend is a student there now and had literally those exact same stats.I want to apply to USC this coming summer; what are your chances with a 3.72 / 516 MCAT?

Your stats definitely won't an issue for you. I have almost the same GPA and MCAT as you and was accepted this cycle! Based on my interview, they really do try to find passionate and interesting people, so at this point, it'll be your ECs and essays that would be key.I want to apply to USC this coming summer; what are your chances with a 3.72 / 516 MCAT?

ACCEPTED this past Friday!! Interviewed the week of 10/17...Really caught me off guard since they told me it would be another couple of weeks when I called. Good Luck to everyone waiting to hear back!
Getting very excited about my interview here on 12/2. Can anybody provide any insight into the day?
+1, super stoked but that USC Keck price tagACCEPTED this past Friday!! Interviewed the week of 10/17...Really caught me off guard since they told me it would be another couple of weeks when I called. Good Luck to everyone waiting to hear back!

Do you have any specific questions about it? There's an interview day schedule on the portal if you haven't seen it yet.
Mostly just what the interviews themselves are like! Conversational? Stressful? I saw they are closed-file, but just trying to get a feel of the vibe.
Also, how big is the group of interviewees?
congrats! stats and complete date?II invite just now! Does anyone know what percentage of out-of-state interviewees get acceptance roughly? MSAR does not have this information for some reason.
No idea. Though didn't read anything in last years thread that suggested they prefer OOS or IS (probably because it's private).II invite just now! Does anyone know what percentage of out-of-state interviewees get acceptance roughly? MSAR does not have this information for some reason.

You miss every shot that you don't take. If its a top choice and you have the money, there's no harm in trying.I am OOS and kind of gave up on this school and didn't submit the secondary. Yet want to try again. It's due Dec 1st so I will put my heads up and do it, even though a lot of people will say what they want.
Same boat here. All my friends with a similar MCAT score (definitely below the matriculant average) have already been rejected, so I'm getting pretty nervousBeing complete in June and still having silence from Keck is confusing to me. This is worse than super-liking someone on tinder and never getting a match. Keck, please swipe right on me. I promise I'm worth it.
Yeah a while ago! but after talking to friends and family over break it seems like Keck is my best option. We shall see though. Still a long time till April.You got accepted?!?!?!? :O

Congrats! It definitely is a fantastic school in terms of location, education and opportunities etc.Yeah a while ago! but after talking to friends and family over break it seems like Keck is my best option. We shall see though. Still a long time till April.
Does anyone know approximately how far in USC is w/regard to IIs? Would be honored and delighted to get an II here and been complete since early Sep. without a word!
Friend got an II last week and scheduled interview for February.
I'm pretty sure they have a strong emphasis on research. There was a detailed post on Reddit a few weeks ago from an accepted student who went to USC for undergrad as well. He was basically saying that USC is trying really hard to climb the ranks (both Keck and the university at large), so they really really want research and make it a requirement in med school. He also said that the other type of student they look for is the type that wants to work with the underserved. But I feel like research and working with the underserved usually go hand in hand, since county hospitals tend to be affiliated with a university.could anyone (II/accepted people) comment on emphasis on research for this school?
any weak research background with good news?
Do the emails roll out over the course of the day? Interviewed back in October and still nothing.
congrats! how research heavy would you say your application is?
thank you for your reply. did they ask you specifically about your research or was it kinda brought up in the midst of your interview?thank you! i would say quite research heavy. i've been involved in it since my freshman year in college, and i get really excited whenever i talk about it. during my interview i whipped out a sheet of paper and began outlining my current organic chemistry project with various structures and reactions, which the interviewer seemed to appreciate
I cancelled my interview and withdrew my app today. In light of other acceptances, I couldn't justify dropping 500-700 dollars on a trip out to LA.
I hope one of you gets my spot!
