<p>i’m a spring admit who went to public school, have a 4.0 in computer engineering, do research, and i’ve started taking grad classes as a junior. so i don’t think i’m harming usc in any way.</p>
<p>the reason that USC is a good and unique school is because it takes a chance on students that a clearly smart, but might not have the best grades or the most ec’s in high school, and it gives them a high quality education. its what makes usc unique as opposed to stanford who takes people who have great high school grades or lots of ec’s and passes up on lots of great students. </p>
<p>also number 8 is ridiculous since many parties at usc are already crazy.</p>
