— Student selectivity (12.5 percent of the rankings): Per US News, “A school’s academic atmosphere is determined in part by students’ abilities and ambitions.” To measure that, the magazine looks mostly at test scores. SAT and ACT, the standardized tests used for college admissions, make up 65 percent of the university’s selectivity ranking. High school class standing is another 25 percent of this factor and acceptance rate is the remaining 10 percent.
设立一两个热门专业EA,比如紫檀里大部分孩子喜欢去的,再加上诱人的奖学金,吸引众多的申请者,但是呢, 录取的时候呢,奇怪了,周围的牛蛙都没有影啊?怎么回事情啊?难道是录了比藤校录取还牛的娃吗?但是录取率是实实在在很低啊?比藤校录取率还低啊? 学校太牛了。
忽然想起去年的时候,国内一个同学的孩子,申请了一轮,最后被两个没有听说过的学校录取了,他们很高兴,但是神奇的是,后来这个加州私立牛校录取了他。当然, 此学生也是有很强的EC的, 那就是他有个无比的富豪老爸。
看了@为了你 的帖子,联想到一些事情,有感而发,不知道对错。

如果有EA进T5的,同时被USC据了的例子,才能说明问题。
不知道USC是不是也想这样

唯一知道的就是明年USC的排名那是一定向前冲!
U.S. News的排名综合考虑了包括录取率、师生比例、学生标化成绩、研究数量、就业情况等在内的多种因素。 U.S. News的排名衡量指标公正权威,也是最受学生家长重视与借鉴的排名榜单。
如果是中等孩子,GPA3.5 左右,愿意支付6万美元学费,USC作为Reach School 还是可以考虑。如果有进Top20,又想拿奖助学金的实力,就不必要报了。报了大概率是要做分母。
当然你要说没录就是实力不够那也没办法。
我知道录取的去年前年都有,学习一般,家境很好,女孩子,有个混血
我娃没考PSAT, 人家系统直接就给 filter out 了。我们 有 SAT 分。
