Haha! They ARE a well-qualified bunch, to be sure! College Confidential is probably not representative of the “average” USC applicant.

The first few pages (January and February acceptances) are the “scholarship wave,” and many of those students are awarded the Trustee, Presidential or Dean’s scholarships or are interviewed for the Bacc/MD program. Probably the most useful (and sobering) information comes from the late March postings of rejections - you will find that some wonderful applicants were not accepted. I don’t want to dash anyone’s hopes, but I do want everyone to look at things as clearly as possible and have a back-up plan just in case.

*As always, I am especially grateful to the students who were not accepted and posted their information here - it is a great help to current applicants, MUCH more than the accepted student profiles which, as you say, tend to be a bit above the overall average.
