DS, who was accepted at many top U’s, including 2 Ivys, Chicago, Wash U, Pomona, etc, etc, chose to go to USC



USC has been providing generous merit awards for years to attract talented students.
It is a very widely known fact among top students in California because it has to compete with nearby UCLA which offers instate tuition.

In addition, they have also recruited talented faculties recently, so I think its academic quality has improved in the past 5-10 years.

However, without generous merit awards or FA, I would not pay full fare to go there.
