<p>OK for all of us parents of great kids and future trojan hopefuls, here is a slight hope for those out there like my son who is borderline with great ECs, decent GPA (AP student with honors) but SAT in low 1900s. </p>

<p>Because of the economic crisis they will be accepting a bit more which is very smart move indeed. Many students are sending out lots of applications, then going to the school that gives them the most money. They may not be as dedicated to becoming a Trojan as some of us on these boards are. Hopefully this is a light in the tunnel and maybe even they will take more Spring admits as well so I hope that all that worked hard and want to attend USC will not be turned away just because of one factor as long as they did well otherwise.</p>

<p>Good luck to all still waiting!</p>
