[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got into Berkeley and UCLA with Regents scholarships, as well as three schools out of HYPSM. However, he was only admitted to UCI as a regular admit, even not into the honors program, he was a valedictorian and he was  rejected by USC. Meanwhile, students ranked much lower, in the 20-30% percentile range, were admitted into UCI’s honors program.

A friend’s kid one year later who also got Regents at Berkeley and UCLA and was admitted to two HYPSM schools, received a Spring Admit option from USC.( no NMSF scholarship at all ).  both SAT score were 1600 even.

Feel like USC “yield protects” when it comes to Ca applicants, esp those who aren’t legacy & or Newport Beach/Manhattan Beach wealthy. Figure most middle-class & < Ca kids who have a choice would choose Cal or UCLA  over USC in great part due to the delta in tuition costs. My limited sample size, seems to me that internationals & out of state kids enrolled at USC are higher stats & greater ec’s then Ca kids who are enrolled.
