<p>According to my acceptance letter, USC admitted 2,600 out of 35,000 applicants.</p>
<p>That's 7.4% acceptance.</p>
<p>Is this true?</p>
<p>I don’t think so. I think that’s the number of freshmen USC expects that will enroll in the fall.</p>
<p>lol -_- i have seen this questions ask so many times on so many forums…^ yep above post is correct</p>
<p>i think a lot of schools give out those stats to make rejected students feel better…</p>
<p>haha… i remember reading that it was like 24% a few years ago. Still, even considering those accepted who choose not to go, i would imagine that the acceptance rate has dropped south in that past few years</p>
<p>SC accepted more than 2600 students. The acceptance rate is supposed to be around 22% this year. All colleges accept more students than they expect to attend. The target class size is 2600. Last year more students accepted than expected and the class size was 2972.</p>
<p>The NY Times printed a list of colleges/universities and their acceptance rates last year.</p>
<p>Here are some acceptance rates from universities around the nation for 2010:</p>
<p>Cal Tech----13%
Duke----16%
Univ. of Chicago----19%
Univ. of California at Berkeley----26%
Barnard----28%
Emory----29%
NYU----30%
Boston College----31%
Carnegie-Mellon----33%
Georgia Tech----51%
Univ. of Iowa----81%</p>
<p>USC accepts around 8400 students out of 35,000 making the acceptance rate around 24%. Out of those 84000 students they expect 2600 to enroll for the fall.</p>
<p>So your saying USC has a 3% admit rate? Atrocious.
:)</p>
<p>8400*. Typo error.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate is around 24%. The 2600/8400 is the yield rate or somewhere around 30%. Or another way of saying it is the percentage of accepted students that actually enroll.</p>
