If it seems easy, you’re maybe not doing it appropriate
Today’s post is written by visitor blogger Kirk Brennan, Director of Admission.
Well, the full hour has arrived. The reading that is long has arrived at an end.
Numerous various emotions compete for my attention, that makes it difficult for me to start. My mind is racing. Therefore I’ll start with the simple stuff: some fundamental numbers.
Year we received nearly 46,000 applications from first-year students, 24% more than last. We offered autumn admission to about 8,400 students, and we expect approximately 2,650 pupils will accept our offer. The average GPA of the 8,400 is greater than 3.8 on an unweighted scale. The middle-50% SAT range is 2060-2250, and the middle-50% ACT range is 30-34. Students originate from all 50 states, over 70 different countries, and from all walks of life. And a lot of them really like sushi.
There is difficult stuff: First, we are tired. Since mid-November, this team that is outstanding place it all regarding the line. We read, calculate GPAs, write notes, click and scroll through student files, weighing and comparing, all on behalf of the who applied. We have been also sad. Once we started reading, we met many outstanding students. But at the finish, we must make difficult, even painful decisions. We take the role of advocate very really, so when we realize we should bid farewell to many perfectly suitable applicants, we get just a little cranky. We have a saying around the office: it right if it seems easy, you’re not doing.
And lots of good stuff: we’re excited. We cannot wait to learn who will be enrolling at USC year * that is next. We are encouraged, full of hope for our future. So lots of our high school students are filled with optimism, and additionally they fully expect, also assume they will simply take the world in a better way. What a great job we have — daydreamers of sorts: we read about the great dreams of our students, and we imagine them in our community — inside our labs, libraries, classrooms, symposia — making those dreams come true. The future looks that are sure from where I sit.
I really hope all students who stumble into this blog discover the right college them reach their full potential, to soar to unimaginable heights for them: one that will help.
