<p>@TodaysEinstein How is someone with a 3.7+ and 2000+ in for sure? First, the school’s <em>admitted</em> student profile lists the mid 50 percent at about a 2100 and a 3.7. That obviously means people had lower and also higher stats than that going in. Also remember that USC has about a 19% acceptance rate, so there’s actually no guarantee that someone can be in for sure unless he’s being recruited (and that’s still very competitive seeing how good USC is in sports).</p>
