How are so many people affording close to $90K? Plus the cost of flights, etc from anyone around here.
I know they give good aid and some merit scholarships but that is still a very HIGH cost of attendance (when compared to other options) for the vast majority of applicants. We have college savings and a DMV upper middle class income so on paper we could afford it.. but why? And who are these people? |
Right back in this year, and acceptance rate 9%

My kid got scholarship/aid. Cost was little more than UVA. UVA is pretty expensive for a state schhool. Another kid also went to Notre Dame. It was actually cheaper than UVA after aid/scholarship. So it all depennds just like any other private schools. Nothing specialy about USC. Yea flight is added cost, but well worth it for getting out of VA. |
| Everybody knows USC is a party school. |
Is it?! Moreso than other big football schools? It’s actually known to be a bit nerdy. |

Wow, so much for University of Second Choice.

Biglaw equity partner. Our HHI is high. |
USC nerdy?? You've got to be kidding me. It is probably the same as other big state football schools but with a much higher price tag. Popular with kids I am sure because of its party reputation but as a parent you have to ask yourself whether you're willing to pay for it. |
Yes, nerdy…! How well do you know USC? It’s competitive to get into, lots of international students and only 25% of the student body is white so it’s not exactly teaming with your stereotypical white frat boys like some southern and midwestern schools. Most college kids like to have fun, but I don’t think USC is a big party school compared to a typical college. |
+100 People have no idea what they are talking about. |
If you can actually believe what USC says…… |
Not anymore. They are as hard to get into as an Ivy now. It’s pure insanity. The Marshall school of business is expecting a 1-3% acceptance rate this year. That’s harder than Wharton! |
Nice try. Read the article before you post to try to prove a point. Berkeley miss reported alumni donation percentages, not admit rates. Big difference and does not prove your point/comment. |
Berkeley is at/near the top of the academic ladder. They don’t feel the need to game the system like a USC and so many other newcomers. |
