Hey guys! So I'm planning on applying to USC and just wanted to know what SAT scores they usually look for. Like, what's the average score of accepted students?
If we're talking about the University of Southern California, for the most recent admissions cycle that we have full data for (the 2022-2023 cycle), the middle 50% of admitted USC students had an SAT Total score between 1460 and 1540. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1460 and 25% scored above 1540. Remember, though, that these are merely averages, and admissions decisions are about more than just test scores! USC takes a holistic approach to evaluating applications, and they're also interested in your essays, extracurriculars, and other aspects of your profile when they make admissions decisions. Best of luck with your application!
