[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD attends a top private and is a junior; kids from her school seem to have a growing interest in UCLA and USC. The number attending has been rising the past 3/4 years and over spring break her instagram was filled with LA/California college visit pics.  These are kids that 5 years ago would have gone to an Ivy from her school. Smart kids, honors classes at a top private but not tippy top smart or recruited athletes.  I know USC has long been called "University of Spoiled Children" but these are kds with a very high caliber of academics. [/quote]

I wouldn't bank on UCLA because it is only going to get more difficult to get into now that the number of OOS seats has been reduced to 20%.  I've taught at USC and had a family member attend there and faculty still think it's the University of Spoiled Children.  Too much traffic, parking hassles and lousy neighborhoods, especially to the south.  Unless it's the film school, I think you can do a lot better for the price.[/quote]
