<p>I’d pick USC over Berkeley, but why are people here acting like it’s so strange to do the opposite? Berkeley is higher-ranked by USNews and other publications…Haas and several of its other schools are world-class.</p>
<p>And Berkeley does have a very different vibe than USC, just as LA has a verry different feel compared to the Bay Area.</p>
<p>Maybe because it’s a USC board? Either way, congratulations on getting into both; you’ll be getting a great education wherever you choose to go.</p>
