<p>What I expected and certainly the pattern that I and a lot of others see at USC in talking with many kids interviewed for it. We are yet to run across anyone that gets one of the bigger, what is supposed to be “merit scholarships” that doesn’t need it to go there. It is causing a demographic of it’s own - they are losing the top scoring kids in middle to upper incomes. Since they aren’t getting money, they go to an Ivy or a lot of other great schools, like the Princeton kid mentioned. And before someone explains it at being angry perspective it is not, just a clear observation I have gathered in talking with a lot of people from different backgrounds over the last couple years. I expect they will see the same problems other CA schools are seeing when they try to fund raise over the next 10-20 years.</p>
