Does USC grad school mostly take in-house students?

Graduate School

<p>Will USC grad school prefer to take students who got their BA from USC, or are they completely impartial, and a student who got their BA at let’s say LMU has just as much of a chance as a student who got their BA at USC. In other words, do grad schools at USC, (or universities in general) admit fully on merit (grades, letters of rec, portfolio) or does alma mater have play?</p>

<p>Thank you for answering!</p>

<p>General feeling is that if you went to a certain school for undergrad you are at a significant disadvantage when applying to it for graduate school.</p>
