Okay, so we’re down in SoCal looking at USC and UCSD. My family and I have just been taken through USC Preview Day…the school is very impressive. And that’s what I’m afraid of. I really REALLY want to go to UCSD, and I need to sell the school to them somehow.

We’re going to tour it tomorrow by ourselves (it’s Easter weekend, so apparently this means UCSD’s tour guides get the days off…)

Price tag isn’t an issue, so I can’t really use that as an argument. My parents want me to go to USC. I need to find qualities that UCSD has over USC.

What should I emphasize on the tour tomorrow to impress them? Help me out!
