USC
Every year, the London Times ranks the best colleges in the world.  In the most recent edition of the Times Higher Education Supplement, UCLA was ranked number 26 in the world.  Cal was ranked number 2 in the world.  Stanford was ranked number 7.  Where do you think USC was ranked in the world?  

USC was ranked number 180 in the world by the London Times!   I guess your entrance requirements aren't helping you much.  

US News had UCLA ranked at number 25, Cal ranked at number 21, and USC ranked at number 30 for this year.  That's because they consider the amount of money alumni give to each school.  Of course private schools like USC will have inflated rankings in the US News guide.  And even with that, UCLA is ranked higher in the US News list.

Let's see here...UCLA-26, USC-180...USC better in academics?  Please!  

It's a known fact that UCLA looks at more than just your scores when selecting students.  Ask anybody who's been turned down by the school.  You need extracurricular activities as well as high gpa and SAT scores.    

And to the moron who talked about not paying $30,000 a year, if you are getting that money in loans, you will be paying it sooner or later.  Maybe they didn't teach you that in South Central.  I hope the Trojan alumni give you a nice job.
Do you see the London Times college rankings?  UCLA was ranked 26 and USC was ranked 180.  I thought USC was a good school.  Oh well.
