<p>ukfcra, does your letter say “8,000?” Another poster mentioned their letter said “8,400.”</p>
<p>Last year USC admitted 8,715 <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/1011/FreshmanProfile2010.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/1011/FreshmanProfile2010.pdf</a> , so if they are admitting 8,400 or 8,000 (whichever number turns out to be accurate from the letter) it does seem that they are cutting back on admits a bit. They may be expecting a slightly higher yield (number of admitted students who choose to attend) than last year due to the small rise in the rankings last August.</p>
