USC Class of 2027 — Regular & Early Action Decisions

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Southern California
1915

Congrats to those who got in. For those who go, you’ll have a great experience. That won’t be my DS who was rejected. Mom was an alum, but dad was a Bruin.

Applied for Marshall
4.0/4.7ish GPA (not sure how exactly to calculate, all APs and Honors except Spanish 2 and 3) - 12 APs and 2 DEs. 5-5s 2-4s
SAT: 1530, NM commended
Good school leadership in competitive academic clubs, tons of volunteering since 9th grade and won a regional volunteer of year award over other adults and college students; started non-profit that was selected for training and funding from a competitive program. PT job and some other ECs. Overall, good ECs but not as good as many I’ve seen on these boards.

Accepted to UCLA and other UCs
WL: WashU
Denied: Swarthmore
Waiting on a bunch more next week but UCLA definitely takes the sting off. Going in we though he was more likely to get into SC than UCLA because UCs were test blind. Guess we were wrong. I was fretting the cost of $360k+ though as I have 2 more to send to college. We won’t qualify for financial aid and saved for college but not $1.2m.

Good luck to everyone. Just know there are a lot of great options all around.

Just wondering, does the first sentence “your ties to the Trojan Family” mean another one of your family members attended?

1918

TTP abroad turned out to be better than getting in as u meet/live/bond other alumni TTP friends for life you would not ever have met otherwise on a very busy large campus. (in addition to saving on 1st yr tuition). There will usually be a TTP instagram where you can find roommates and meetups.

Thank you!

1921

It can be good (I wouldn’t say better than starting as a freshman at USC), but not every kid or parent is ready to spend a semester abroad. And the experiences vary greatly by city so they need to do their research.

1922

Yes

1923

My son is not a legacy and the TTP offer wording is different.

@peachesnsmiles Yes, daughter from Texas and denied right at 5:00 pm CDT

1932

Where did you/your student do their Study Abroad? Which program/country?

1933

Daughter Denied, but offered Trojan Transfer. She is not interested in TTP.

1934

Our sheltered daughter had never even been to Europe and matured greatly. Over 10 different alumni families that she met through the program cared for her like their own from 1st meeting and it would have been very unlikely she would have had even close to the same experience if she was admitted 1st year.
