How to Stand Out
USC has completed its admissions cycle for the Class of 2029, reaffirming its position as one of the most selective universities in the world. Out of 83,500 applicants, USC admitted around 8,684 students, resulting in an overall acceptance rate of 10.4%. Here's a detailed breakdown and insights to help prospective applicants better understand the evolving admissions landscape.
Admission Round | Applicants | Admitted | Acceptance Rate |
---|---|---|---|
Overall | 83,500 | 8,684 | 10.4% |
USC's admissions remain fiercely competitive, demanding not only exceptional academic performance but also evidence of meaningful engagement and genuine passion. Applicants should focus on standing out authentically rather than merely fitting into a perceived mold.
Admission Round | Class of 2028 | Class of 2027 | % Change |
---|---|---|---|
RD Applications Received | 41,074 | 40,483 | +1.46% |
Applications Accepted | 3,321 | 3,584 | -7.34% |
RD Acceptance Rate | 8.08% | 8.85% | -8.70% |
While USC has not released a breakdown yet, the university published its Regular and Early Decision acceptance rates for Class of 2028 and 2027.
Between 2023 and 2024, the number of RD applicants rose, while the number of admitted applicants declined, resulting in a declining acceptance rate.
Admission Round | Class of 2028 | Class of 2027 | % Change |
---|---|---|---|
Applications Received | 40,953 | 40,325 | +1.56% |
Applications Accepted | 4,729 (includes 1,791 deferred to RD) | 4,510 (includes 2,043 deferred to RD) | +4.86% |
ED Acceptance Rate | 11.5% | 11.18% | +2.86% |
ED applicants at USC are automatically deferred to the RD round; this means that if you apply early, you're considered for admission twice.
With that said, we're including the number of deferred ED applicant who were accepted in the RD round in the ED acceptance rate. ED applications rose slightly (1.56%), while acceptances grew faster (4.86%), pushing the acceptance rate up by 2.86%.
The Class of 2029 ED acceptance rate will be updated once USC publishes further information.
