You will be notified first by QuestBridge, then by USC Admission. Decisions are sent December 1.

Only finalists who participate in the USC match process will automatically be considered for merit scholarships – others need to complete a full application by Dec 1 to be considered.

Matched students will be admitted to their first-choice major. If you are applying to Architecture, Fine Arts, Cinematic Arts, or Dramatic Arts (except BFA-Acting), be sure to submit the supplemental materials required for those majors by November 1.

No. We cannot consider interviews for the College Match. Interviews are optional for regular admission.

In general, College Match participants who do not match with a college should have QuestBridge “forward” their applications to the schools of their choice.

However, if you are a finalist who participated in the USC match process, your application will automatically be considered for regular admission and will be considered on-time for the December 1 scholarship deadline.

If you are a finalist who did not participate in the USC match process, you will need to complete a full application by the December 1 or January 10 deadline to be considered.

No, these programs cannot accommodate the College Match process. Students wishing to apply to these programs should submit the Common Application along with the USC Supplement, paying close attention to the additional materials (e.g. resume and headshot, writing samples) required by these schools. For more details, please visit USC Supplemental Application Instructions. Please note that BA Theatre applicants can be considered for the Match process.
