So far has gotten in to four large state schools (Big 10 and SEC), three of them for engineering. Haven't heard from any of the Virginia schools yet (where we live), waiting to hear from some others as well. We over-applied due to test optional and not knowing how many '20 kids deferred.

Would you mind sharing which schools he got into?

And it has zero to do with the thread topic. So annoying.

Which schools accepted him for engineering with no scores? TIA.

Davidson has only released ED results so far and doesn't have EA - is that where your DD is going?

Same for Macalester, I believe.

Macalester has Early Action, my DD was accepted.

No it isn't, University of California is now widely known to represent the UC network of schools in the system. However UCB or University of California at Berkeley, also known as "Cal" is the original flagship as the first. USC is University of Southern California and as others have posted, a simple Google search will show South Carolina represented as U of SC.

This is a recent change that most alums aren't on board with. The university changed the logo and branding in 2019 precisely to distinguish the University of South Carolina from Southern California.

As an alum, I kinda agree with those who point out that the University of South Carolina was around before California was a state, and that it was officially USC since 1866, 14 years before the school in Los Angeles was founded.
