<p>USC definitely pays attention to the quality of your high school. For example, if New Trier is your high school, USC will admit you despite the lower GPA than its average admits.</p>

Last year USC admitted 14 students from New Trier, an outstanding high school in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka, after years of having few applicants from there; three enrolled last fall. In the past there were few applicants from the prestigious Lawrenceville Academy, near Princeton, N.J. But last year USC admitted 21 Lawrenceville graduates, and six enrolled.
