Admission Interviews

The Viterbi School conducts admission interviews as part of its application process on campus and around the country.  Interviews are entirely optional, however they give us another opportunity to learn more about you.  Insights into your interests, personality and motivation assist us in making fair admission decisions.

Interviews are available to current high school students applying to USC as a freshman only.  We do not conduct interviews for students not yet applying or transfer students.  Interview appointments are limited, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis

Applicants for Fall 2012 can interview at anytime through our interview season and do not need to have an application on file in order to interview. The interview season runs from August 1 - December 9, 2011 with interview spots available on a first-come, first-served basis practically every weekday. If you are planning on applying for admission, and would like to schedule an interview please login below with your USCID.

Interviews & Information Sessions
A number of students often mistake an information session for an interview, and wonder whether to schedule a second one.  Interviews are designed as one-on-one sessions for us to get to know you.  They typically last 20-25 minutes in length and the student does most of the talking.  Info Sessions (like Meet USC) typically last 30-45 minutes and are your chance to learn about USC and the Viterbi School.  At info sessions, the admission representative does most of the talking.
 
If you are unclear whether you have had an admission interview or not, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Off Campus Interviews
We also conduct interviews at a number of locations around the country.  Interviews will be conducted (typically during the weekend) at Off-Campus locations listed below starting in mid-October through mid-December.  Spaces are limited - be sure to make an appointment soon if you would like an interview near you.
