<p>Bayboi, stop pretending you go to Cal. </p>
<p>Yeah, OP, the derogatory stuff was not necessary, but thanks for this anyways. I noticed that myself, and the increase in private school tuition in general HAS been noted by some news outlets, as well as the private school struggle with funding. Now I’m not sure about USC’s admittance procedures, I think they’re large enough to be need-blind, but some of the other privates that have been suffering are not need-blind, and so your chances of getting in are reduced if you need funding. However, UCs have to be need-blind, so there’s a plus for our schools (merit-based!).</p>
<p>All-in-all, most schools aside from those with the very largest endowments are suffering some way or another. Thanks for pointing it out.</p>
