Like I said. Don’t be swayed by me or anyone else. Gather data and discuss with your family.
And don’t decide based on CC or Quora!
You understand that GT and USC are powerful schools. And look great on resume. Especially GT among the stem world.
But you have to analyze the data points. Strength of school. Cost. Location. Activities. Weather. Travel. Family. Social life. It all matters. Maybe rank them in each category 1 to 10, and then add up each school and see what it says to you.
And make the best overall decision for you.
