@chigirl99 Not sure… but I do not think so. Hopefully not. Maybe @CADREAMIN will know for sure…
@chigirl99 - It appears that way. The President of USC recently said the admission rate was 13%. They’ve also indicated 63,000 applications. That’s 8,190 admissions. If 62,000 applications that’s 8,060 admissions. If 64,000 applications that’s 8,320 admissions. Sometimes on admission rates and applications, I think colleges round these numbers down, sometimes up.
We won’t know the actual numbers until they release the final statistics in the next 72 hours. The general numbers dripping out would seem to indicate the admissions rate will be around 12.7% to 13.3 % and students admitted to somewhere between 8,100 to 8,400.
^^^ well said
Sadly, 55-56K will be disappointed. Even worse, 63% of those admitted will not even enroll at USC… while many of the 55-56K rejected might have…
Seriously anxious over here. Waitlisted at Pepperdine and rejected at UCLA.I want USC but just have a sinking feeling that it is going to be a rejection as well. I am in the 2 day zone but of course expecting a letter not a package.
Honestly I’ve never been so nervous in my life. Waitlisted to UCLA and rejected from ND. In at UCSD, LMU, USD, UCSB. When I walked on the USC campus I felt at home… Applied to Marshall w/ a 33 ACT, 4.12 W GPA (3.76 W). I own my own business (established LLC), have volunteered with an animal shelter since age 7, and produced a documentary on my school’s cheer team… When the USC rep came to visit my school I sent a handwritten thank you note and I had an interview/letter of recommendation written from a USC alum who is still very involved.
USC is probably the only thing I want in the world and something I’ve been wanting forever. However, I feel totally defeated and like it isn’t going to happen.
Decisions are being mailed today but is there any possibility that students will receive them today especially for SoCal students?
@chigirl99 - No, the spring admits not factored into the numbers. Neither are the transfers. UCLA posters like to point that out when comparing the schools, particularly the transfers. UCLA takes twice as many transfers as USC (not trying to start a USC-UCLA battle here). UCLA is a great five year undergraduate school (couldn’t resist one more shot).
Some students admitted as spring admits will get bumped to fall admits. I don’t know how many. That’s determined after USC gets enrollment data and if certain majors are light on students.
@AlwaysAspiring and I do believe that too. It’s just something I’m going to have to keep reminding myself. Thank you for your encouragement.
Also, does anyone have a link to the podcast?
I asked USC admissions on snapchat how many people they’re admitting and they said “these are 8000 additional acceptances for fall/spring.” As the director of admissions is running the account, id assume she’d know what she’s talking about. Pair that with the 1200 admitted in March and that’s 9200…
^^^ That would seem to indicate, if true, 1000 admissions for Spring. Their goal of 3000 new enrollees for the fall does not seem to include the extra for Spring admission.
I will be very curious to see the Freshman Profile for this year. Here is last year’s for anyone curious…
@mayoosh - I tried to paste the link but it doesn’t work. Go to USC admissions Twitter. It’s a couple posts down. It’s 40 minutes long but an interesting listen.
@mayoosh Tried to post a link, but it’s awaiting approval by the moderator
Google USC Twitter Admission and you should find it
@WWWard would you be able to chance me at all by my above post?
While I do not see anything posted that would make your admission unlikely, these type of predictions are so hard to offer. USC and Marshall are each going to separately evaluate you based on a ton of factors… GPA, Rank, Test Scores, ECs, Essays, potential leadership roles, potential community involvement, etc. … but they are also going to factor in how many applied for your first and second choice majors & compare you to those peers… and your state of residence and demographic factors may also be considered… and your perceived fit at USC or how you framed your "why USC? answer may also factor in.
It is so subjective that no one outside of that decision-making process can truly state anything one way or the other. I would give you a better than average change of success when evaluating your post above in a vacuum. But it really all depends on those you are being compared to. Marshall is very competitive. And then there is also the possibility of gaining admission… but only to USC as Undeclared or to a second choice major.
In the next few days, some of the postings from those admitted will be perplexing to those who see their own profile as more deserving. But a lot of that disconnect involves factors unseen or not revealed. And often it can simply come down to the major being sought alone.
Good luck though. You will know soon enough 
@boxerluvr you’re more than qualified enough to get in. There are gonna be people admitted with worse stats and extracurriculars, and there are gonna be people admitted with better; you would fit right into the mix. That being said, someone mentioned it’s a crapshoot which is so true - it could go either way. College admissions are so silly, literally the mood of whoever is reading your application could make or break the decision. You sound like a very qualified student, and if you don’t get in, it’s not at all because you don’t deserve it.
I’m so nervous, yet excited! USC is my DREAM School since birth. Stats: 31 ACT, 1400 SAT, 4.43 WGPA & 3.95 UW GPA, Latina first-gen college student. EC: varsity captain of track team, concertmaster of city orchestra, President of science club, secretary of FCA, volunteer at local hospital, academic mentor, link crew leader, speech & debate for a year, MUN for a year. I’ve gotten into all 9 schools I’ve heard back from, including UCLA, UCSD, cal poly SLO, but USC IS THE DREAM!!! Are my chances okay??? I’m genuinely unsure…
I just wanted to say to @boxerluvr that you are not alone and that a lot of us are right there with you. It’s a dispiriting thing that really great people go through this system! Right now, just get through the next few days – we’ll always have junk food and Netflix… whatever it takes … and remember that it’s so random that unless you are God or whatever (and who is really) than getting rejected at other places really isn’t much of an indicator. Hang in there! It’s almost over! Hopefully it will work out as you want it, but remember that no one thing can take away your value as a human/person/student/person who will do great things.
Update from campus… “White Boxes” in USPS bins getting loaded into USPS vehicles
Picture up on insta now…
@WWWard are those stats for example under “admitted” for SAT scores giving the 25th-75th percentile? Or is that saying that no student under a 1320 SAT score was admitted?
