Is it hard to get in to USC out of state? (59% of students are in-state)

<p>What gives is that USC is in California, so about 53% of applications are from California students.</p>

<p>In 2009 <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/0910/FreshmanProfile2009.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/0910/FreshmanProfile2009.pdf&lt;/a&gt; :</p>

<p>-53% of applications were from California students and 52% of admits were from California</p>

<p>-38% of applications were from US applicants outside of California and 38% of admits were US applicants from outside of California</p>

<p>-9% of applicants were International and 10% of admits were International.</p>

<p>So you can see that International applicants have a tiny advantage and California applicants a tiny disadvantage while US applicants from outside California are admitted in the same proportion as they apply. It will not be a disadvantage to be from outside California.</p>
