<p>alamemom, if you read the post above, you would know cc411 decided to be cute and post a a funny link. I think my response was only appropriate. And in addition, I never stated being a legacy meant that you are guaranteed, or gives a high percent of admission. I already stated that legacy status does not make up for lack of stats, but it can at least give you a second look or a slight edge. Emphasis on slight. Likewise, it is your opinion though and I have mine.</p>

<p>The only proof I will give is that in the 2008 USC application, it asks very straightforward, “Did your father/mother attend USC? If so, list their names:”</p>

<p>I still have a copy of the actual application, I can provide a picture if you’d like.</p>

<p>The USC Freshman Profile (found on the USC official website) also lists how many students are SCions (legacies)</p>
