[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USC is so not worth it that it receives tens of thousands more applications than seats, celebrities want to bribe their kids into the school for $500,000, they have one of the highest SAT averages of any school in the country, have a kick butt sports tradition, a top business school, incredible law school.

Yeah.  It might as well fold up shop now.[/quote]

43% yield despite massive amounts of merit money thrown at kids who likely would not have attended otherwise.  They buy their way to test scores (that aren't even tippy top anyways) compared to many ivies and more selective privates that give none or minimal merit aid.

But sure, keep calling it impressive.  [/quote]

43% yield is pretty good considering USC does not have binding early decision.  Some T20 colleges take half the class with ED and still have lower yield than that.[/quote]

These are kids who choose the the top 20 schools ED if given a choice over USC.  without merit money to boot.[/quote]

Also only 41% submitting test scores?  They won't become test required yet for a reason.[/quote]
They get a lot of apps from their own state. Many California kids don't test because their publics are test blind.[/quote]
