<p>I agree with alamemom. There are those of us who have to pay the full tuition amount. We are fortunate that we have a higher income. But, we sat next to a movie star’s daughter at a USC function, and find it ridiculous that we will pay the same amount as she will, when clearly her family income is far higher than ours.But, if our daughter attends, that is the way it goes. Attending USC is not your right, it is a honor, and sometimes these choices require sacrifice. I realize in proportion to your parents earnings 30k seems like a million dollars. But most of us sending our children to USC will be suffering,and since most of you kids are good students, you likely have cheaper choices that you will turn down. I also get a little miffed that many families expect USC to pay. We went in to the application process realizing they likely would not.</p>
