<p>So I was just thinking, when I first found this CC USC board, I naturally flocked to the CC Top Universities section to look for USC, but obviously, it wasn't listed there.</p>
<p>Anyone know how CC decides what universities are their top universities? I mean, looking at the list, they're all good schools and the list happens to contain every private college I applied to and was accepted to plus UCLA and Cal, all there except USC! Are each and every one of those schools so much better than USC that we can't be listed under the top universities?</p>
<p>So maybe they'll claim the list is outdated. However, USC has received a lot of attention in the past few years, not only in sports, but in academics. I'd say USC deserves to be placed in CC's top universities, and that CC should review our school and see for themselves that we're not just another school that falls in the letter 'S' category.</p>
<p>Furthermore, just glancing at the discussion board activity, the number of threads the USC forum has is greater than some of the CC Top Colleges (thinking maybe it has to do with forum activity)</p>
<p>Any way we can petition CC to consider us?</p>
<p>It's all in here: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=169289%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=169289</a>.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'd love to see USC become a top school too eventually...then the stupid UCB and UCLA people can stop bugging us :mad:</p>
<p>USC should be a CC top university!!! Let's get 100 signatures and send this thread to one of the mods! :)</p>

<p>I guess that's because they fall into the Top 25 college ranking thing... which sucks.. ;_;</p>
<p>Edit: yes, its based on top 25 college ranking. All the schools who are in there (unless they are ivies) are on that thing...</p>
<p>I'll bet $5 that USC will make top 25 by the time I graduate from college.</p>
<p>guidez89- I agree with you totally...! (five dollars thuogh? LOL)</p>
<p>Well, the thing is, I looked on USNews and if you exclude the Ivies (which CC does because they get their own category), we are within the top 25. We made #30 for 2006.</p>
<p>The petition might be a good idea, but maybe it should be a thread of it's own so it'll get more prominence on the board.</p>
<p>The top 25 INCLUDING the Ivies. Ivies aren't in the CC top college thing because they have their own thing going on...</p>
<p>27 Tufts University (MA)
27 U. of North Carolina Chapel Hill*
27 Wake Forest University (NC)
30 Univ. of Southern California </p>
<p>All the ones above us probably has to be in the top CC thing too before we get in... though i still think USC's better than UCLA. HA!</p>
<p>no way, UCLA's acceptance rate was lower than UCLA's this year. USC will beat UCLA pretty soon. :) I guarantee!!!!</p>
<p>Okay, how about $500?</p>
<p>^^I'll assume you meant to say USC's was lower than UCLA's. And that's true, but barely. 8400/34000 admitted at USC for Fall 2006, for 24.7% (just got back from a local info session). That's just slightly below UCLA's 25.6% for Fall 2006. </p>
<p>It is true though that last year they were even closer, with USC admitting 8400/31600, for a 26.5% admit rate vs. UCLA's 26.9%.</p>
<p>Seriously, I don't care if some of you guys have amazing stats, we should all feel lucky we got in. I hadn't realized this before, but UCLA is pretty hard to get into (i think it may be harder because of the In-state thing) and they have a higher acceptance rate than us?! wow, and then you see how some people with higher stats than Trustee fellows got rejected and USC starts to feel more like a random, hard to get into, Ivy-like university to me, and that is not just because I want to feel better about myself.</p>
<p>Lets all be gratefull my fellow 24.7%s!</p>
<p>Ok, guidez, i'll sign your petition! Come on people! 98 more to go!</p>

<p>You guys will overtake us once we overtake you guyz in football... which is gonna be in a while.</p>
<p>Tony, you are so wrong. Trust me man, 5 years max and we'll be better than you, in everything!!</p>
<p>Haha... we'll see.
We're probably. gonna end up like those alumni who pour tons of money to make sure we beat out one another.</p>
<p>yep, that's exactly how we will end up. Except since I went to USC I will have lots more $$$ to pour into the school. You wait and see! :)</p>
<p>Only time will tell...
