<p>'I notice no one is addressing my point about the admit rate. Do you agree that USC’s acceptance rate is over 20% this year? And do you think it’s okay for USC not to include in its acceptance rate those ~1,000 students it accepts each year for spring"?</p>
<p>My impression is that USC staff and the majority of students/parents are grateful and flourishing in the vibrancy of the day-to-day academic, social, and emotional growth occurring. This is their immediate experience and focus. For others, an emphasis upon their university’s place in external ranking systems with unsubstantiated validity. Quite a contrast.</p>
