USC (Southern California) 2020

Hey guys,

Just figured I would get the forum opened up for those of you that are applying to the USC CRNA class starting May 2020 since the application is supposed to be opening up today! Anyone start gathering their stuff together or attend an information session in the past?

I applied! Just waiting on a couple recommenders to get their recs in now. I didn't get to attend an information session because I don't live in CA but I've spoken with a couple people at the school and they're SO NICE.

Applying! my number one choice, very hopeful here

Hi guys! I didn’t want to apply to USC because my GRE is not >300. Any chance someone can tell how much that matters?

Hi indienurse, during the info session, the program directors mentioned multiple times that the GRE is just going to be a small percentage (hence, why they also removed the >300 requirement). They focus more on leadership, experience, committees, etc. Just try to do your best on the GRE and still submit your score ?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

Hey y'all! I know the app deadline was literally two days ago but was wondering if anyone knew when we might hear about interviews? I know the website says qualified applicants will be invited for an interview date in December so maybe by November we should hear? Would love anyone's insight if you have it!
