<p>^ A bit petulant? I think my message was fairly clear. Kids drop out and they have to be replaced. BTW the four year graduation rate is closer to 70%, hence the need for replacements. Just because USC bottom loads the freshman class it’s still very much a function of the overall drop out rate. Anyway you did make a good point so I’ll play the lawyer and qualify my statement. </p>
<p>Accepting transfers is a natural consequence from students dropping out. If student’s stop dropping out then USC can stop actively accepting transfers. (Disregarding the matriculation of transfers to the freshman class )</p>
