<p>:) I just posted some info on another thread, so I’ll go ahead and start you off with some info. This is not official or complete, just what I can remember from previous years. The passage below was in response to a PM question earlier today.

Musings on Spring admits!</p>
<p>Spring admits “look” just like Fall admits in terms of qualifications. Spring admission is offered to students USC really, really wants, but for whom there just isn’t room (I am certain USC could fill its class three times over with highly qualified candidates if they just had room!). There is a bit of room in the Spring thanks to most students who study abroad choosing to do so in Spring (they don’t want to miss football season in the Fall ) and to December graduations. As far as numbers, I don’t really know - perhaps a few hundred?</p>
<p>Every year a few dozen (at least) Spring admits are offered Fall admission during June as commitment deposits are received for freshmen and transfers and little bits of room are found here and there for some majors.</p>
<p>NMS offered Spring admission get the same 1/2 tuition scholarship as Fall admits.</p>
<p>Fall may be spent working, attending community college OR a 4-year, studying abroad, doing volunteer work, internships, ??? The possibilities are endless. After they get used to the idea, many Spring admits say they wouldn’t change a thing about their experiences! Others enroll in a 4-year, planning to go to USC in the Spring, and fall so much in love with the school where they start that they change their plans and stay put.
