From student opinions to real data, USC Annenberg isn't ranked among the hardest colleges at USC. Is this true or has the rigor changed?

Given your source, I would also confirm that Annenberg is not the most rigorous school at USC to get accepted into. Although every major is competitive, USC schools for business and any of the art disciplines have more competitive admission statistics. Students from the school also claim that these programs have a more difficult admissions process and therefore make it more competitive to get accepted.

The source you utilize here appears to be AI on an opinion website which doesn't seem trustworthy enough to back up this claim.

Your source given is a single quora post which doesn't offer any data to support this claim. From my experience as an Annenberg student, I have heard/seen truth in this claim but I genuinely have no idea how you would prove that.
