I know one of the past analysts and know of a few others by reputation. This is a seriously legit firm and one of the best undergrad jobs out there. I tend to discourage undergrads who want to go into VC directly out of school but USV is one of the few exceptions (along with Bessemer and Insight).

 

May be replying too late but they look for candidates (even at the analyst level) with unique perspectives on the areas they invest in. So study their portfolio companies, read the partners' blogs (I think most have them), and have informed opinions on those industries or topics that were brought up.
