<p>To Nester: My son is a senior and has already applied to SCA and to a ‘2nd choice’ major in another dept. at USC; he is extremely enthusiastic about both opportunites. I’d like him to get a general sense of USC and given the 4% acceptance rate in SCA, I hate to rev him up in that direction at this late stage – he would be thrilled to be admitted to the university, in general, so we’re downplaying one major over another. If SCA admits him, he certainly would come back for USC’s equivalent of “Accepted Students Day,” or whatever it’s called there. But I do appreciate your opinion very much – thanks!</p>
