[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USC has a mixed reputation for most people not living outside California. Lots of celebrity kids, admissions scandals, and tons of community college transfers. It is crazy to me that a school like USC gets 70,000 applicants eager to pay $90,000 a year. Absolutely blows my mind! I get the appeal of warm weather, but this is bonkers. [/quote]

I think you may be the perennial heckler on this board, but my niece just graduated usc and whenever the school name comes up, people are impressed. I travel a lot for work and the reaction is the same - from Seattle to dc. Like ‘wow if my kid got into usc…’ So I’m not so sure about your ‘mixed reputation’ comment. Maybe you’re old stuck in the 90s and a bruin.[/quote]

DP. No, PP is correct. I’m from so Ca. Most of us think this way and roll our eyes. Everyone knows USC’s “success” is due to marketing, and marketing alone - especially to east coast families who don’t know its history. Just like Northeastern. It will always be the “University of Spoiled Children” and my niece recently went there, too. Btw it’s now $99,432 a year .[/quote]

Despite being involved in the admissions scandal, USC's reputation is still better than Northeastern's. At my kid's public school, anyone who applies to Northeastern ED is practically guaranteed an acceptance among their many study abroad and various other programs. Not the case for USC. [/quote]
