for those who get in today or tomorrow will you please post your stats?
Iâm on spring break so I wonât hear until itâs posted online so Iâm nervous!!
@imvegetarian2016 SAME TO YOU!!! WE IN THIS TOGETHER
my friend just got in⊠20-30 mins away from USC. apparently my mail doesnât come until 2⊠really nervous now 
agree with @Usccurious mail can seriously take up to 3 days even if itâs close by - sucks to wait another day or so but worth it when the package arrives
@Vandy12020 To find the borderline competitive cutoff, just look at their averages. The 50% for ACT was 29, and the SAT was ~1900. We can guess that the top half is a bunch of tryhards, and the bottom half is either affirmative actionâd in, or Theatre majors (cause letâs be honest, your scores donât matter as much). If youâre applying to a highly competitive/academically focused major, the scores should be a bit higher. If itâs a performing art, the scores could be a little lower.

@Hopefulcaligirl 3.9 GPA UW, 4.3 Weighted, 30 ACT, 1980 SAT, Tennis for 4 years, VP for key club, started a club, and CSF
Iâm an hour away from USC and I have friends who received acceptances already - sigh the waiting game is killer.
@sadboys Your âi/m/g/u/r.comâ came out as **** cause CC is sometimes a poop. (remove the slashes)
the struggle is tooo real @sjinae
@Merppity affirmative actionâd in umâŠokay then
@Merppity And if youâre international?
@sadboys itâs beautiful ! Congrats again !
@kiwiblossom12 Well, not to be rude, but itâs in the sense that an underrepresented minority (African American, Native American, etc.) are held to lower standards at some schools, and find it easier to get admitted. Iâm not saying theyâre dumb, but rather that a similar-scoring URM could have an easier chance than a similar scoring white man for example.
And as for international, I wouldnât know. Probably the same though.
@Merppity â so offensive! If you all want an actual thoughtful post on USCâs holistic admissions, read @madbeanâs: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/1558825-what-are-my-chances-read-this-first-p1.html
Anyone know if the acceptance box arrives at the doorstep or if it goes into the mailbox? Just need to know whether I should be completely depressed if my doorbell doesnât ring at any time tomorrow, lol.
@CCMThreeTimes Which partâs offensive? If you think the Art part, then I say that because an artistâs portfolio will also be considered pretty heavily. If itâs the minority/affirmative action part, then remember that affirmative action is 1) actually pretty common, and 2) considers socioeconomic status (sometimes) as well.
Affirmative action doesnât âmake it easierâ for minority students" it tries to give a more level playing field to students who are historically disadvantaged in education. Iâm gay for example, which is becoming a bigger deal to colleges- thatâs because LGBTQ students have high grade school dropout rates and are three times as unlikely to attend college because of all the harassment and bullying they face. You get the idea.
how much does socioeconomic status help in admission?
Just got my mail, officially accepted!!!â
@Zburg45 CONGRATS!!!
