Spring Admission

[JW_Muller]

<p>

This is not a holdover from the times when SC was less competitive, but rather a way to fill spots vacated by kids who graduate early or late and to a lesser extent to fill in for kids who are in Europe.

<p>Other competitive private’s with much higher 4 year graduation rates also do not need Spring admits. Since only 66% of USC matriculants graduate in 4 years, USC’s need for Spring matriculants is more likely students graduating a semester * late* rather a semester early. USC’s retention/graduation rates are apparently a lagging indicator as USC has become more competitive.</p>
