[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like a potential fit for my kid, but other than that it's in California, and a reach, and a few things I've read on the internet, I don't know much.

What should I know?[/quote]

It is not in a very safe location imo.  DTLA adjacent and neither are very nice/safe.  Check out UCLA instead.[/quote]

Again, UCLA is worse.

No need to look at UCLA if OOS.
I would pick USC if price is the same.[/quote]

If the price were the same, broaden the horizon. Include Rice, WashU, NYU, Vandy, Duke, NU, U of ND...  For the same price, why not choose a school a whole notch above USC in a safer surroundings? [/quote]

We are looking at a variety of schools.  USC has a higher ranking for his desired major than any of those, and guaranteed merit for NMFs.  Plus it has an EC he loves.  So, on paper, it looks like a really good fit.

Our plan is to apply widely, and for the more distant schools to visit if he gets in and it's affordable, unless we're considering an ED, which it looks like USC doesn't have.[/quote]

This and the post about not affording USC are both OP.[/quote]
