Last week we admitted a small portion of the first-year class, but the vast majority of our applicant pool is still awaiting a decision. Holistic reviews take time, and we know this wait can be excruciating.
The Common Application goes live this Sunday, August 1. We are so excited to start receiving applications for the 2022-23 academic year! Apply to USC as a first-year or transfer applicant using the Common App:
Scholarship recipients will be notified of their award on Friday and Financial Aid packages will be updated in your Fast Portal sometime early next week

Get ready! It's admit pack season here at USC, and our staff is hard at work preparing admission decisions! Look for yours starting Thursday, March 28.
After submitting your application, you’ll receive a confirmation email from USC with instructions for setting up your account in our student portal. Make sure to check your application status and submit any outstanding documents ASAP.
Prospective first-year students may apply to USC for the 2021-2022 Academic Year without submitting SAT or ACT scores. More information about this test optional policy and our application process can be found at
