Hey everyone! I was just doing some research on USC and its application process. Can anyone here tell me what the acceptance rate for USC is? I'm trying to gauge how competitive it might be to get in. Thanks!
Hey! The acceptance rate at the University of Southern California (USC) has been around 10-15% in recent years. However, it's essential not to focus solely on acceptance rates when evaluating your chances of admission. Your academic performance, extracurricular involvement, essays, and recommendation letters are all far more important when determining your personal chances of acceptance than USC's overall rate.
