<p>my hubby went to Stanford, I HATED the Trojan marching band and I NEVER thought son would be interested in USC, but hey, when he was deferred and then rejected by
Stanford and was awarded a Full Tuition Scholarship by USC[ which would have not happened if he were not a NMFand applied by the Dec 1 scholarship deadline], we changed our minds about USC pretty quickly.The same could happen to your S, if he is very smart, which is just the kind of student USC is targeting these days.</p>
