<p>5boys…did he check out UCI? It has a very small feel to it…</p>
<p>That is funny. Well, they are all different!! We live in a very rural area, small school so my son wants to get out and see the world!!! Willing to bet yours is from a bigger area; well, um, most people are so it’s a safe bet!!! My son and I are also amused by all the Californians wanting to go the East Coast(esp the northern part of the East Coast). We’re going why??? I’t cold, hectic, and less friendly… We can get North Carolina and even DC but brr, the further north you go!!! All that being said, everything I see about BU sounds great!</p>
<p>On USC BA-audition for sure. My older daughter is a senior there-getting the BA, and wishes she would have. The reason is you never know-plus getting in shows is very competitive once you are there. You might as well be ready. It has been a very good experience.
Now-last year,Her sister auditioned. She did not get in-she had a 3.75 but a slightly above average ACT score. However! she did get on a waitlist of sorts. I don’t recall what the name of the program is, but if she wants to transfer to USC-she was offered an option to show them her freshman year in college grades, and they will reconsider her. I have to believe her audition( plus having her sister there) helped with that. USC is very hard to be admitted to nowadays.</p>
