  • Brief Profile: Non Traditional Student, tons of research, basic volunteering, good LORs (I think), one publication, and a lot of ECs (RA, TA, Student council, Honor's thesis, clubs, etc.)

    I took 2 MCATs but I hope they only look at the first one
    First: V8 P10 B12 S
    Second : V10 P9 B10 R (Just wanted to bring up the verbal so it was a dumb move, only studied for 2 weeks with a full time job... learn from my mistakes!)

    Feel free to ask any questions. I would love to help people applying any way that I can.

    Summary of Application Experience

    Aug 14th: Just got my FIRST INTERVIEW INVITE!!! YAY!!! VCU on Sept. 24th.

    Oct 15th: FIRST ACCEPTANCE!! I love VCU!! Its an awesome school and a great location! Oh yeah, this is my excited face!

    Feb 22nd: YES INTERVIEW TO USC!!!!! SERIOUSLY! WOW!

    May 21st, I am in the middle of backpacking in Europe and I just got the BEST email ever!! Dr. Quinn let me know there is a place for me at USC, so I took it!! I am going to be a Trojan!



    All I have to say is YES, you can get into USC with a late interview. If its a good fit, things will work out.
