<p>Well when I applied USC was my first choice (I go there now) so I guess we're all in good company :)</p>
<p>You guys are getting into some pretty good schools already - UCI/Loyola/UW are all good in themselves. My cousin got accepted to USC, but chose UW instead - mostly because it was much, much closer to home (major factor) but also since they gave full tuition there.</p>
<p>I really don't mind USC being second choice to Stanford, though, since they're such an extraordinary school. :)</p>
