From the comment in your location, we'll assume you mean the Univ of Southern California but there are more than 1 USC.

There is another young woman from England also going to USC this Fall and going through recruitment. Her thread is in the list of stories.

My understanding is that is competitive from Western US standards but not as competitive as Southern recruitment, but it's all relative. I'm not an expert, so I'll leave that for others.
