<p>@alememom @alememom Sure, no problem. This account was started by S1 and I when he was in high school. After reading the T&C’s, and realizing we were looking for different info here, he started his own account. I am a parent. </p>
<p>Perhaps I spoke out of frustration from my own little world, but our entire area has the same experience with USC, not just one high school. We have over 12 high schools both public and private in our immediate area, and ANECDOTALLY, only the 4.0’s UW plus and approx. SATs at 2100-2200+ get in. Some of these are nationally ranked high schools. Thus my perhaps overarching comment to the OP. </p>
<p>Have you identified local schools that practice grade inflation and are therefore not accepting as many students from them? If so, I would certainly like to know about this as the parent of a hopeful Trojan.</p>
<p>I am just skeptical that USC keeps claiming on CC and in college fairs that “average” kids can get in but we never see evidence of it from our area. I suppose in a few more days, we will find out again. Thank you for providing the overall statistics, and good luck to the OP.</p>
