There’s no reason to brag about getting into Cal or UCLA as a transfer? This is coming from someone who got rejected from UCLA and chose USC…hmmm

You knock on the UCs because they are public schools…well, why is it harder to get into two publics schools, Cal and UCLA, than it is to get into a private school like USC?

I’m not putting down USC completely, there have been some good arguments made about the quality of certain programs, like film and business. But generally speaking, USC is NOT of the same caliber as UCLA and Cal. If you wanted to major in psychology, for example, you would NOT choose USC if you could get into the other two schools.

Look at this ranking of schools by department. How many have Cal or UCLA in the top 10 or top 20? USC is rarely in the top 30.
