<p>^^ And those are the statistics of those who chose to attend USC. The stats for those accepted are even better.</p>
<p>25% below 1950. 50% below 3.8
That’s 2125 students below 1950 SAT and 4250 students below 3.8</p>
<p>C’mon im sure most of us can squeeze in somehwere in the middle of all that.</p>
<p>my status has been the same since 2/8 – the “in review… will notify by 4/1… call after 4/11 if you don’t hear…” bla bla bla - did someone decide that if you are in review since that long, then you are rejected? I hope not</p>
<p>Exactly.
Look, theres still 3800 spaces left.<br>
And about 4000 or a little under actually matriculate.
That not only supports the fact that the over-qualified students that have been admitted already to USC will probably end up going to better/more prestigious schools (like ivy’s).<br>
Like other schools, (UC’s for example, send out regents a month in advance to notify those who are over-qualified and granted scholarships) USC HAS to send out notifications earlier to those who are over-qualified to increase their stats and possibly sway the prospective student to come to their school by notifying early.
The 3800 spots that are left will most likely be given to those that fall under the middle-75-50-25% stats (2000-1800 SATs) and 3.7-3.6 GPAs.</p>
<p>And the more I think about it this way, and stress out less, it makes so much more sense.</p>
<p>Good post H1gher…makes me feel better!</p>
<p>thanks h1gher! That was really helpful.</p>
<p>Finally, h1gher, someone here who’s thinking on my lines</p>
<p>how do you know there are 3800 spaces left?</p>
<p>hey guys, do you know if everyone has this status now (that hasn’t got acceptance yet), or is there still people with older statuses?</p>
<p>Estimates. Pretty much half.</p>
<p>Trustee, Presidential, and Deans accounts for 650 recipients. The actual pool of hose who qualify would be the top ten percent of those who applied (about 3,600). They’re accepting 7600 this year.</p>
<p>So we’re at about half.</p>
<p>an98- I’m still stuck on “we have received your midyear grades.”</p>
<p>My status literally JUST changed (3/18) to ‘in review’. Good, bad, ugly?</p>
<p>Good - well that’s me. I fit exactly into those stats below, but with a higher GPA and I am a USC legacy too</p>
<p>“The 3800 spots that are left will most likely be given to those that fall under the middle-75-50-25% stats (2000-1800 SATs) and 3.7-3.6 GPAs.”</p>
<p>my status hasnt even changed to in review yet
i guess that is a bad sign?</p>
<p>Nah, I think the statuses mean absolutely nothing. The statuses on people’s pages are all messed up, some people who were accepted still had the “error message” and some people were still in the “recieved fall grades” status and were accepted as well. Don’t worry about it now, theres nothing you can do except wait.</p>
<p>haha yea that is true but waiting it like the hardest part
especially since everyone else in my school is getting in</p>
<p>h1gher, thank you.
You made my day a little brighter with your statistics post.</p>
<p>THANK YOU. :)</p>
<p>Those stats are from last year… so I don’t know what this year’s applicant pool is like… don’t take all of my words seriously either, thats just pure speculation.</p>
<p>Good - well that’s me. I fit exactly into those stats below, but with a higher GPA and I am a USC legacy too</p>

<p>YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs thats exactly where i am!!! yes!!!</p>
<p>o i really hope that is true because my sat is above that but my gpa is like right there ahh i SO hope so</p>
<p>h1gher, I understand.</p>
<p>I shouldn`t have my hopes up, but your post did calm me down a bit. :)</p>
