Moments ago, we loaded vehicles with additional than 45,000 pieces of mail, and throughout the next few days, USC’s admission decisions for the class of 2017 will be revealed.

From us, now we’ll be anxiously waiting to hear from them as I reflect on our work, I become aware of just how quickly the tables have turned: high school seniors have been waiting with nervous anticipation to hear. We all know that the pupils we’ve admitted are on the list of most useful on earth. All have actually many excellent options for university so we can scarcely wait to find out who will accept our offer and join the Trojan Family.

Getting our decisions within the mail is the culmination of numerous months (and tens-of-thousands of hours) of work. I will be incredibly proud of the whole USC Enrollment Services team—for its commitment, effort and professionalism. The group of students that we have identified for admission is the better in USC’s 133-year history!

And speaking of incredible students, here are just a details that are few this year’s admitted freshman class:

• 19.6% of applicants were admitted
• significantly more than 3,100 different high schools are represented
• Our admitted students come from every U.S. state, the District of Columbia and 79 different countries
• Outside of California, the five most represented states are Texas, Illinois, ny, Washington and Massachusetts
• Outside the U.S., probably the most represented countries are China, South Korea, India, Canada and Singapore
• 1-in-9 may be the first in their family to attend college
• 64percent are students of color
• 17% are worldwide students
• The typical admitted student comes with an un-weighted high college GPA of 3.8. With weighting, the GPA is more than 4.0.
• The normal admitted student took 6-8 AP courses (assuming these were offered by their high school)
• 75percent of our admitted pupils have standardised test ratings in at least the percentile that is 95th

Thank you for coming with this journey with us. Irrespective of the result, we have certainly enjoyed getting to know every single applicant on the year that is last. The best of luck as they begin this next exciting chapter of their lives on behalf of all of us at USC, I want to wish every prospective student.

Fight On!

P.S. do not think for moment that any of us goes on vacation any time in the future! Between now and could 1st, we are hosting fifty different admitted student occasions, many miles to travel and many thousands of students and parents to meet up with. And then there are those transfer that is 8,000; they aren’t planning to read on their own!

I’m a Spring Admit! Now What?

Believe me once I say we were excited to admit you and therefore are hoping you will join the Trojan Family.

Spring Admit and recent alumna Rachel Hirsch ’11 said it most readily useful:

‘we think what’s many crucial that you get across to Spring admit students is that this isn’t USC’s way of suggesting they are doingn’t now want you. They do. They accepted you and to even be viewed being an applicant to the educational school is an accomplishment in it of itself. And to be admitted! Kids would kill for this place. I understand it feels like a little kind of rejection but it is maybe not. We would not have traded my spring acknowledge status for anything. It allowed me to really have a little more hours after high school to realize every one of the inevitable change that was ahead and it gave me some real life experience (as cliché as that sounds). You will have some of the most useful years of your lifetime walking on campus and going to football games and producing a complete university experience for yourself.

If you wish to visit here, go because it’s clear USC desires you.

And undoubtedly, Fight On!’
