There are so many things wrong with what you just posted that it’s hard for me not to lose my temper.

He stated Caltech only enrolls 200 freshmen a year in that paragraph. Everyone knows that USC is significantly larger than Caltech. He’s not being unfair or dishonest.



200 students is a lot more at caltech (possibly the majority) than 550 is at USC.



This was very clearly addressed. There is no attempt to conceal this fact.



…that means kids who could get into Caltech prefer a USC education.



A lot of kids do! Is this shocking? You yourself said a lot of people don’t bother applying to Caltech; it’s not because they know they can’t get in, it’s because they don’t wanna go there!



And (i could be wrong about this) but i heard Caltech is the most difficult school to gain admittance into in the country.



Turns out you were wrong about this, Caltech is extremely competitive but a 13% acceptance rate is not the most difficult school to get into. You can look these things up you know.



Lastly, there’s far more to Caltech students than just GPA and SAT scorse.



The same is true of USC students.

You’re attacking EVERYTHING pro-USC, on the USC forum, whether or not you have a leg to stand on. You know, I hear there’s a lovely UCLA forum on this site.
