In all, USC received 35,809 applications for just 2,600 places in its freshman class – that’s 2,000 more applicants than the previous year’s pool. </p>

<p>Applications from New York, northern New Jersey and Long Island were up 11 percent, and those from the Washington, D.C., area were up 18 percent. More geographically diverse, the students are also smarter: The mean composite SAT score of all admitted applicants stands at 2,108 – 18 points above last year’s crop.
