<p>indigomy2, I notice you selected a new login name to make your post. I wonder, how did you get a full ride at UCLA when they do not give full rides? If you recently transferred to UCLA, does that mean you have not attended yet? If you transferred last year, that is not really recent. And most students who receive the Trustee scholarship do not consider the drive (!) to be interviewed silly. So… are you a ■■■■■? Many UC students may question, like you do, why students pay so much to attend USC. We have rarely–if ever–heard that from a student who was receiving a full tuition merit scholarship at USC. Most Trustee scholars are fully engaged, doing research, taking honors level classes like Thematic Option. Just wondering.</p>
