<p>Seems like usc is bein a little more lax with their admission criteria this year. (Any comments on that?)</p>

<p>Is it worth 33k / year tuition?</p>

<p>If your a CA resident, might as well go to the state school (cheaper and still a highly regarded education).</p>

<p>U.S.C. more commonly known as Univerysity of Spoiled Children</p>

<p>shark, i don;t think usc is being more laxed specifically this year =D, you were just too intimated by what everyone is posting on cc regarding how hard it is to get into anywhere lol

<p>Personally, USC isn't worth the money, considering there are universities that are just as good if not better <em>coughBerkeleycough</em> that are also a lot cheaper. In addition, USC's location sucks.</p>

<p>If you are planning to major in enginneering/bio/math related, might as well go to one of the upper-tier UC's...</p>

<p>If you plan to major in Business, USC's Marshall school of business is DEFINATELY worth the money. Strongest, most powerful alumni network in California. </p>

<p>USC's really been trying to crank up admission decision.. people perceive it to surpass UCLA within 5-10 years. Whether you like USC or not is your personal opinion....... USC's recent sky-rocketing growth cannot be ignored.</p>

<p>How can it be the University of Spoiled Children if the average family income of UCLA's is slightly higher than USC's average?</p>

<p>That spoiled kid joke is from my parent's generation. USC now has one of the highest percentages of Pell grant recipients (the poorest students) of any college..</p>
