Someone on CollegeConfidential (thread) thought UCLA is harder to get into than USC. Based on the facts, that idea appears to be wrong. Copying from my post -
They’re equally hard to get into. USC might be even a little harder to get into than UCLA.
In 2005:
UCLA had a 26.90% admit rate.
USC had a 26.58% admit rate.
