| My daughter has been agonizing between Berkeley, UCLA, and USC for weeks. She finally chose USC because of the more personal feel (meeting with an advisor), admittance into Annenberg, great internships available, smaller class size, and greater diversity.
Unparalleled Diversity* (a recent email from USC)
* 11% first-generation college-goers
* 20% African American, Latino and Native American
* 7% International
* 48% from outside California
We also live in Southern California and know of the fabulous USC alumni and connections. There were about 8 students accepted to Berkeley from her school and many of them were athletes, so her perception is that Berkeley is more into Sports.
Your daughter has 3 very different and wonderful schools to choose from. Just thought I would offer you my daughter's reasons for choosing one of the schools that your daughter is considering. Best of luck, let us know where she decides to commit!! |
