JUST OUT! Numbers from the USC Office of Admissions

<p>@whythough - because of USC’s location, each year about half their applicants are from California (49% last year). As you can see, the California student admit percentage is a bit below half (44% this year, 45% last year), suggesting that, though the overall percentage of admits from California is relatively high, they are admitted at a lower percentage than others, meaning that it is a bit tougher to be admitted from California. (Hopefully those reading took a statistics class and can see why this makes sense :). I am not sure I explained it well.)</p>
