<p>Have only considered USC somewhat of a reach, academically & financially; friend’s son just graduated from USC & was very happy there & now in 1st year of med school here. Lots of kids from his school go there & have been pretty happy & successful there. Not sure the smog will be great for his asthma & allergies anyway. Son isn’t sure what he thinks of USC either.</p>
<p>His scores are pretty good – highest combined would be 1560 or using the new SATs 2230.</p>
