I mean, it boggles my mind, but clearly there are kids out there to whom the potential for a full scholarship was not enticing enough.

<p>I don't think that's clear at all. It's not unreasonable to think that 20 of the 320 most qualified USC applicants were accepted ED or EA to upper-tier schools after they applied to USC.</p>

<p>Thanks for your voice of reason, BAndTenHut. LOL. I see what you mean--an applicant for ED might have submitted a USC app before USC's Dec 10 deadline before learning they had been accepted to their ED school. My mind can stop boggling now.</p>
