Cutthroat, laidback school list

UCLA takes many more at-risk students than USC. And if you believe USC’s frosh class has 80%+ students who graduate top-10% of hs, you’re terribly naive also.

The average gpa of USC frosh is “3.7,” which can be anywhere from 3.66-3.74. I’m not buying this either. UCLA"s is 3.81 or thereabouts.

USC probably has higher SAT’s, but that’s because UCLA is public and has a duty to admit more urms with low scores from bad high schools. If you look at the individual hss, the admits/matriculants to UCLA have higher stats, save for these at-risk students.

USC makes up the difference when UCLA admits more from underperforming hss, many near the USC campus.

The competition at UCLA is much, much higher.

You just don’t know…
