No disrespect towards UCLA but USC is on a higher plane, a different level.
UCLA grads work for USC grads, and Texas grads park their cars for them (that was for you and your post Matt).

I grew up and went to HS in LA. At my HS, most of the students applied to both USC and UCLA. So I am very familiar with the admissions standards of both. Every student that got into UCLA got into USC. Not so much the other way, not even close. I know countless people that wanted to go to UCLA, but didn't get in and had to go to USC.
UCLA (undergraduate) is the higher ranked school, by far. It has higher admission standards, is in Bev Hills as opposed to the ghetto, and as a bonus costs much less (esp. for Cal residents).
Among serious academic students applying to college, USC has always been considered a good "safety school." Everyone knows that if you are a good student with good scores, that didn't quite get into Cal, UCLA or Stanford, you still will have a good chance at usc.
