<p>Osserpusser, it is a not statistically relevant to base your conclusions about a school with 47,0000 applications on the experiences of 30-55 kids a year. Your sample represents less than 0.08% of all applicants. Thank you for clarifying that your statements were made only on personal, anecdotal information.</p>
<p>USC has no preference for the SAT over the ACT. If a USC admissions representative has told you that there is a preference for the SAT, please let us know the name of that representative. I would like to speak to him/her as they are directly contradicting USC’s official position and providing misleading information. In addition, you will find on the STATS thread many, many examples of applicants submitting only the ACT and not only receiving admission, but some of USC highest scholarships. </p>
<p>To state that your personal anecdote provides more accurate information that the published admission statistics does not make sense.</p>
<p>I recall that you posted as an applicant to USC in 2011, but your current posts on the financial aid forum indicate you are posting as a parent. Can you clarify?</p>
