Competing with others for admission to USC

<p>Georgia Girl - Although I’m not well informed about architecture, Harvard does offer this: [url=<a href=“http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/academic/arch/]Architecture[/url”>The Department of Architecture - Harvard Graduate School of Design]Architecture[/url</a>]</p>

<p>Btw, my D goes to Harvard, but prior to her admission there, she always assumed she would, and wanted to go to USC. USC has so much to offer, including some things that Harvard does not, particularly the school spirit/football/life-long alumni enthusiasm/“fun.” (That said, Harvard does actually have an expected amount of the foregoing).</p>

<p>With respect to OP’s question about his/her sibling legacy hook, USC is less inclined to provide one than it has in the past. Formerly, a legacy with decent stats was a shoo-in at USC, now many are rejected or relegated to Spring admission, because Spring admits’ less-than-stellar stats do not need to be reported for USNWR rankings.</p>
