I’ve been accepted to TAMU, UT, Northeastern, Northwestern, Cornell, and UCLA. 6 out of 6 so far, realy hoping I can keep it up considering USC is my number one!
Hey @FilmMaker curious about the rankings list. Can you post a link?
@katcon Between Chapman and Oxy, I say Oxy hands down.
@CollegeIsAMaybe Congrats on all of those!!! But how did you find out about Cornell so early? Athletic deal? ED is restrictive. What’s the secret? Thanks.
@Newsie2015 @officialdaunte yeah yeah I’m in the same boat really. The top 50 or so kids go to A&M or UT, the next 100 go to Arkansas, Alabama, or Oklahoma, the rest go to schools like Texas Tech or Texas State that are instate. Really, I think there will only be like five or so kids in my class that go out to states that aren’t right near Texas
@stonehamma it was a likely letter. Don’t get the official admissions packet and financial aid until everyone else
On the Dartmouth topic…USC and Dartmouth are so different. If you end up lucky enough to be faced with the decision to have to choose between the two, pick the one that you think fits your personality better. They seem so different. Having grown up in the NE and attended college in Boston, I can tell you building snowmen is overrated!
Note: that tweet under #USCadmitted was for a fall 2014 admit …
For you Texans…After California, Texas is the state that usually sends the most students to SC. There are many students from Texas, particularly from the greater Dallas area and Houston.
Here in Georgia for the Meet USC reception/workshop the interested students and parents fill a large hotel reception room.
I’m also from Texas, waiting on USC and others. I was deferred from Harvard EA and usc is my to choice now, so if I don’t get in I guess I’m going to Texas state.
@katcon I think I understand your hesitations with Dartmouth. My parents are really pushing me to go to Cornell or Northwestern, but I feel like SC fits me better. I’m much more of a warm weather, beach, and social person than a cold person, if that makes any sense
@collegeisamaybe ya i forgot OU OSU and baylor and TCU. Those are also popular
A few facts about this fall’s admitted freshman class from the dean himself:
- Approximately 52,000 first-year applicants for 2,770 places in our fall entering class
- 17.5% admission rate
- 3,200 different high schools represented from all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and 77 other countries
- 44% from California
- Outside California, the most represented states are Texas, New York, Illinois, Washington, Florida, New Jersey and Arizona
- 14% are international students. The most represented places of origin are China, India, South Korea, Canada, Singapore and Taiwan
- 1-in-8 is the first in his or her family to attend college
- 64% are African American, Latino, Native American, Asian, Pacific Islander or multi-ethnic
- The average un-weighted GPA, on a 4-point scale, is 3.83
- 29% of admits have perfect un-weighted GPAs of 4.0
- 50% of admits enrolled in 8 or more AP courses while in high school
- 77% had standardized test scores in the 95th percentile or higher; nearly 3,500 had standardized test scores in the 99th percentile.
So I live like a little more than an hour away from USC and the mail arrived already and there was no news from USC, I think it means I got rejected!!! Oh well, UCLA here I come!!!
@2015TxMom – I completely agree. We made a trip to Chicago, thinking Northwestern was the main attraction and UChicago was an afterthought. After the tours, my son had crossed Northwestern off completely and moved UChicago near the top.
@CollegeIsAMaybe , LOVE seeing USC as your #1 over those others.
Wait

wut
Unless that was referring to merely the applicants and not the admitted
On their latest instagram post it says that the letters are being sent first class not priority… Do you think they’re talking about rejections? haha
The 3,200 high schools relates to the admitted students. Not everyone admitted with enroll.
are they sending the letters to your current mailbox or permanent address that you put on common app?
