<p>Fair enough. I suppose it depends on what source you use for acceptance rate, because college board and US News have varied numbers. Anyway, I remember when S1 applied 2 years ago, NU had higher test score average than USC but I’m certain that USC had the tighter acceptance rate when I researched. And this year, USC looks to be about 19 percent. For the record, S2 doesn’t care aboiut sports in the slightest. Didb’t even consider USC at first. But SC is the best school for his major. S1 admittedly loves SC football, but SC was also the best school for his major.</p>
