<p>Hello menloparkmom- </p>
<p>I am so glad to see your post. </p>
<p>My D has made a similar decision - turning down Ivies and a few other top colleges to attend USC with Trustee scholarship. Can you please share if your son’s decision paid off? Did he do well in college? Did he get the kind of support and atmosphere he was looking for? Please share some info.</p>
<p>thanks!!</p>
