I think that the slant in numbers from Texas can be attributed to two things. First, women from Texas tend to register at USC early (they tend to plan on rushing from the start). Second, not all of USC's mailers have gone out yet. One of the ways USC has raised its admissions criteria in the past few years is by taking stronger out of state students. If I had to guess I'd say for the past few years we've typically sees about 50% of the Rushees be from out of state.
