| I always lol when these people say I wouldn’t send my kid to this or that school. Meanwhile, their kid probably wouldn’t be accepted anyway and they know it deep inside lol. These haters always have a mouthful even knowing very well their kids can’t keep up. Comedy. |

| USC takes a ton of transfer students every year. Just another way to game the system to make it look more elite. Of course, it’s working. |

It's still USC - the University of Spoiled Children that couldn't get into UCLA. |

30% of Berkeley's new admission is transfer Many from community colleges. |

Nope. My child got into both and chose USC. Extraordinary place. Private, unlike UCLA which is an overwhelmingly large, public institution. Ask any college counselor and you'll hear it's a "reach for everyone." Top students at the top privates are rejected year after year. As hard to get into as an ivy, full of tremendous opportunities, well-funded, beautiful, dedicated faculty, and, yes, incredibly fun too. Widely considered a dream school and a reach for top students. If its not for you, fine, but to suggest its a fallback to UCLA or other public schools is just inaccurate. |

Total enrollment:
UCLA 46,100 USC. 49,500 I’d say USC is equally overwhelmingly large. Unless you’re very rich or not instate, I can’t imagine attending USC over UCLA. |

Look up the undergrad population only - usc is way smaller than ucla.
SC throws HEAVY merit scholarship money at top students. National merit scholars that are accepted get half tuition scholarships + an excellent football team during the Pete Carroll years in the late 2000s + SoCal location (there is now a subway that goes straight to Santa Monica) + facilities (campus is beautiful) and it’s really not hard to see how the admit rate has gone down so drastically. And while there is a party scene and very spoiled rich kids (not dissimilar from Georgetown), I was not part of Greek life and my closest friends were in engineering and pre-med. back in the day when the admit rate was 20%, there were plenty of nerdy kids so I’d imagine there’s even more now. |

USC is great. I do prefer UCLA. I think it’s a prettier campus, better located, and of course less expensive! Academics opportunities, reputation, and networking are excellent at both. |

Maybe for CA residents who can pay instate. People prefer USC outside of CA |

Caltech and Berkeley are the two schools I would send my kid in CA. |

What is Standford? Never heard of it. Do you mean Stanford University in Palo Alto? Or Samford? But Samford is in Alabama. Never heard of Standford though. |

You have terrible skill in educated guessing. It's an important skill. |

This is not true of all people outside of CA.... Our DC applied to UCLA but not USC. |
