<p>Hmmm... you've posted this a couple places, dredged up a year-old thread to announce it... OKAY, I'll say it:</p>
<p>Congratulations on the Trustee invite! Even if you considerd USC a safety, it is pretty cool to be invited to interview for the Trustee. Don't worry about taking someone else's spot - you aren't. They know the students they invite for interviews have lots of great options at great schools, so they invite about twice as many to interview as they expect to matriculate.</p>
<p>Again, congratulations, and best of luck at the school you chose.</p>

<p>I posted in exactly two threads, both of which had previous posts that dated to earlier today. I don't know where your huffiness came from, but I assure you that I find it rather rude (and condescending) for you to imply that I'm somehow being arrogant.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>I was not being condescending. I was congratulating you. I think it is a great accomplishment and honor to receive a Trustee interview, and I said so above. I also reassured you about your concern that you were taking someone else's spot.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>I apologize if my interpretation of your implicit statement (in the previously quoted excerpt) was unjustified.</p>
