<p>me2 
since i got into none of my reach schools =[ BC comes tomorrow(i think, sat at latest) and usc who knows when lol</p>
<p>yea denny im in exactly the same situation…
BC and USC are like my last chances to go to a non-safety place…</p>
<p>wish you luck! you havn’t gotten BC yet? i thought hawaii would be like last place in country to get it. i know some people on west coast got it already.</p>
<p>I’m from India. so it would take REALLY long to come here cuz the post is really unreliable.</p>
<p>oh right. isn’t it expensive to go to these schools then? i think they don’t give financial aid to international students right? my friend that is japanese citizen is in that situation, he’s @ a CC in california right now but can’t go to a university because of the cost.</p>
<p>lol my dad’s rich. He can foot the cost.
Yea i know its odd. but believe me LOTS of students here go to the US for studies. It’s not really that uncommon at all.
And besides iv always wanted to go to the US for studies. It’s been like a dream of mine since forever.</p>
<p>i’m sure it’s awesome. if there’s one thing i like about the US, it’s the higher education system. everyone says US education sucks but if you think about it, where does everyone int he world wnat to go for college? america lol. as long as you can pay for it haha. it’s all about the capitol.</p>
<p>Unless you live in California, I doubt you’d get anything until like Saturday at the earliest.</p>

<p>Record year for undergraduate admissions at USC sees an increase in applications from under-represented minorities and the East Coast of the U.S.
By James Grant</p>
<p>USC undergraduate admissions letters went into the mail today to anxious applicants from around the world and the nation. Only 21 percent of applicants will receive an offer to join the entering class for next fall. </p>
<p>USC received 35,809 applications for 2,600 places in the freshman class, representing an increase of 2,056 applications over the previous year. With this applicant pool, USCs admission rate has dropped from 24.8 percent in 2007 to 21.0 percent in 2008. </p>
<p>USCs applicant pool represents a highly competitive and highly diverse group of students, with very broad geographic representation. Applications this year 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. At 2108, the mean composite SAT score of all admitted applicants is 18 points higher than 2007. </p>
<p>In addition, USC continues to make great strides in providing access to talented students from all backgrounds: About 20 percent of this years admitted applicants are under-represented minority students, and more than 10 percent of admitted students are first-generation college goers. Recruited athletes make up 1.5 percent of admitted students. </p>
<p>Overall, 53 percent of admitted students are from California, with 7 percent international students and the remainder of the admitted class coming from the other 49 states and U.S. territories. </p>
<p>With this group of admitted students, USC has not only taken its place among the highest in academic rank, it has solidified its position as the nations most diverse, top-rated private university, said USC Vice Provost for Enrollment Policy and Management Jerome A. Lucido. These are extraordinarily talented and interesting young women and men to teach and for each other to have as classmates and roommates. </p>
<p>USC enrolls more under-represented minority students (African American, Hispanic and Native American) than most other private research universities in the country (3,190 as of fall 2007). Moreover, USC enrolls 17.7 percent low-income students (defined as Pell Grant eligible). Most importantly, low-income students at USC graduate at rates comparable to the overall undergraduate population. </p>
<p>USCs Financial Aid Pledge </p>
<p>USC offers admission without regard to ability to pay, and the university meets 100 percent of the demonstrated need of on-time financial aid applicants. Almost 60 percent of USCs undergraduate students receive some form of university aid. This represents more than 9,000 students more than the total undergraduate population of most highly selective private research universities. </p>
<p>USC has the largest university-funded financial aid budget of any university in the country, providing more than $180 million each year of university funds to undergraduates. </p>
<p>The top 15 domestic locations of admitted students for fall 2008 include Los Angeles/Riverside/Orange County, San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, San Diego, Greater Chicago, New York/Northern New Jersey/Long Island, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Seattle/Tacoma/Bremerton, Houston/Galveston/Brazoria, Washington/Baltimore, Greater Hawaii, Boston/Worcester/Lawrence, California Central Coast, Phoenix/Mesa, Philadelphia/Wilmington/Atlantic City and Portland/Salem.</p>
<p>So are these supposed to arrive today, or get mailed today?</p>
<p>Mailed, I believe.</p>
<p>****! 21%? this officially ends my life.</p>
<p>I guess being a minority, poor, or first-generation means nothing when everyone else is too. xD</p>
<p>haha im so screwed! I fall below the mean SAT</p>
<p>Well, I am 99.9% expecting my son will not be included in the “wave” of acceptances. USC was his first choice, but he has other options and is excited about those as well. I just want to wish all of you the best, whether at USC or elsewhere. I have enjoyed reading your comments and each of you are extremely bright, witty, persistent, and I have no doubt you will do well wherever you go. Even though I don’t know you, I am proud of all of you. Don’t despair if it’s not USC, college is what you make it and you can make any college a great experience. GOOD LUCK CLASS OF 2012. A proud mom…</p>
<p>so scared!! i’m in norcal, could it possibly come today?? also dennyk, where did you hear that BC comes tomarrow? i’m also anxiously awaiting that too!</p>
<p>Eh according to the other thread, these letters were mailed today and from what I’ve heard, USC doesn’t send out emails or post their decisions online. That means we won’t receive the results until Monday at the earliest?</p>
