As Spring 2022 comes to a close, USC welcomes its Class of 2026 Trojans. Out of 69,000 applicants, 8,198 were admitted. Within this pool of talented students, 9% of them are Black, up from last year’s admissions cycle. After enduring the arduous process of college applications, we would like to extend a special congratulations to the Black students who were admitted and plan to join the Trojan Family in the fall. The following video compilation by USC sophomore Elande Abate features some incredibly heart-warming acceptance reaction videos. Fight on, new Trojans!
