<p>USC had [35,900</a> applicants](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/0910/FreshmanProfile2008v3.pdf]35,900”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/0910/FreshmanProfile2008v3.pdf), a 22% admit rate, and a 35% yield in 2008. Barring economic conditions similar to that depicted in The Road, there will still be plenty of eager matriculants. CC’ers, however, want to know specifically whether USC anticipates a lower yield, and thus increases the admit rate.</p>
