[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USC is not for you & your kids. It’s for former child actors & lots of children of foreign royalty, presidents, Hollywood directors, NBA starters, luxury real estate moguls and so on.

It has never been a school for the common person & never will be.[/quote]

All of the elite schools have rich ALDC kids, and they love to have those.  
USCC is a relatively large school for a private.  It has very diverse student body.

It has full of intelligent, hardworking, creative, motivated, independent normal kids.
Hence it's highly regarded in the real academic areas like engineering, CS, Marshall Business school, etc. as well as #1 in the world School of Cinematic Art.
My kid is one of those kids there.

So crazy. When I was applying to colleges a generation ago, we
knew it as USC— University of Spoiled Children—[b]an expensive private school for rich kids who were mediocre students and couldn’t get into decent schools like Berkeley or Stanford.  A regional university, very similar to NYU.[/b] How times have changed. [/quote]

That is 100% still the case re: USC. [/quote]

Sandford is top of the top tier.
[b]UCB and UCLA are peers to USC.[/b]
If cost is same, more people prefer USC.

[/quote]

[b]No way.[/quote][/b]

Kids today my think so but most of us old farts know that USC is and always will be a party school.[/quote]

Berkeley and UCLA are considered superior to USC among students and their families. Kids pray for UC acceptance, not so much USC.

Regarding VA colleges…I do think William & Mary and Virgina Tech are known (maybe not widely, as most Americans are indeed clueless)….[b]as for JMU and W&L- they are definitely not known![/b] [/quote]

Nice jab! [/quote]
