求归纳申请CS的phd，教授能做决定的学校 已知USC不行

这是我得到的第一个回了信的。。。。还有哪些学校不是教授能做决定的啊，或者哪些学校是教授能做决定的啊
Thank you for your interest in our group. USC is always looking for
smart students! However, individual faculty members do not admit
students. Rather, it is a committee that admits students. Thus, all I
can do is to recommend that you apply to the department and keep my
fingers crossed that you will get admitted.

Good luck and lots of success!

貌似大部分学校都不行

meh..其实真相是大多数情况下，教授真想要一个人怎么都能要到（如果他自己手上有funding给RA不用找系里面要TA或者找学校要fellowship）

那这种情况 还怎么回复啊
