<p>@menloparkmom, just to make sure that we don’t confuse other readers. I used CAS as an acronym for the College of Arts and Sciences. I wasn’t aware that the acceptance rate for CAS, in general, is that low. Maybe you meant that only 4% of CAS applicants get considered for a scholarship… I expected CAS’s acceptance rate (scholarship or no scholarship) to be more in line with USC overall rate of about 20% – which is still pretty tough, don’t get me wrong.</p>
<p>@alamemom, raddad, thanks again for the encouragement. I’ll be sure to post the good news should our assumptions be proven wrong in the days to come :-)</p>
