<p>@SeattleTW Im sorry for bringing this up.</p>
<p>I have just finished reading all of your posts as well as those of others. I think you still don’t get the point that USC would plummet in the ranking if the number of transfers is decreased b/c of the way the ranking system runs. I am not saying USC would be lagged behind forever, but the cut you support would most certainly harm USC’s ranking in the short term. By short term, I mean a couple of years. Thats what Nikias and the Trojan community don’t want. </p>
<p>In addition to the ranking, I would like to point out that the transfer acceptance rate is now somewhere around 23%, which is much lower than the freshman acceptance rate in the 80s. Its even close to current freshman acceptance rate. Your argument, not everyone can get into USC is already true on many aspects. I seriously don’t understand your frustration.</p>
<p>To be honest, if you got in when USC had a 50% acceptance rate, why bother to judge those who get in with a 20ish acceptance rate?</p>
