Hey guess what? I didn't graduate from a big name school,and three people working below me are all Ivy grads. They have been out 10 years or Moore and will drop, well, I went HYP or wherever. Hey, word of advice, stop resting on your laurels and produce for the company and maybe you'll finally get promoted.

As for USC, we joked it was a corporation that ran a very profitable football program with a university attached to it.
The UCLA students called USC the "University fo Spoiled Children."

I do think it has improved academically since then but would not send my kid there. I would be too nervous for his/her safety.





Californian here. All above is true. USC is a party school. And frighteningly expensive. I see no reason why this young woman should be skipping senior year (which in VA means could be taking Honors or AP Math, Science, English, Foreign languages, you get the point, for FREE. Once completed, she could have her chance at the Ivies. USC wouldn't be offering this program if it could get the type of student it wants through regular admissions, right? Why else would USC offer it? Same with Columbia. I don't know if the program still exists, but Columbia Law tried to snag me in college to start law school a year early. Why? Because Columbia Law needed to raise the caliber of student that was applying. I decided against it, finished fourth year of college and was accepted at Stanford, Michigan, Yale, and Harvard Law. Went to the latter. This program works only in USC's benefit.


+1. This adds considerably to the discussion. Thank-you.

There are a lot of seniors graduating this week. Perhaps their stories deserve some attention for a change.

I vote for renaming Marshall High as Pimmit Hills HS. What's a great diplomat in comparison to the utter fabulousness of the Hills?


That doesn't make sense because pimmit hills is a small neighborhood and marshall serves many other parts of tysons.
