USC is known among many as a sports/party/academic school. Hopkins and CMU are known primarily for academic programs (and music which only lowers the acceptance rate further). Different applicant pools.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were right that the international acceptance rate was higher, but not for the same reason. USC is a larger school, but it probably doesn't get more international applicants. It can accept at a higher rate and still keep the %international reasonable.
