Sounds like a few angry boomers. Better a college like this than an under enrolled podunk college.

DC accepted USC Business w/merit ("at least" $44k over 4 yrs). Also accepted UTK Business w/merit ($36K over 4 yrs), Clemson Business w/merit (TBD-March), Auburn Business w/merit ($60K over 4yrs). And UGA no merit. Leaning UGA. USC Honors + more merit might tip the balance though.

4.0 gpa (uw) 32 ACT. Well-rounded (sports, volunteer activities, arts) but nothing "standout." Strong essays. DMV private.

UofSC’s business school is ranked higher than either of those schools and is more selective for business.

Overenrolled for sure. Several lawsuits from neighborhoods regarding the record class sizes yet lack of University planning for such. Housing is the number one problems facing USC but other campuses facilities are also becoming overwhelmed.

My son was different than a lot of kids because he applied early to all of his schools. Other than South Carolina everything came back by Christmas.

Will he get mad and move on if not hired immediately for a job or internship?

This is the complaint I have heard from current oos students.
