Deciding between (USC+big merit scholarship) VS (???)

What is the name of the other college?

I think that having “Trustee Scholar” -USC at the top of one’s CV is plenty prestigious for grad school applications.
DS was a Trustee Scholar at USC and was accepted into every grad program.

Does the other college have a Med school affiliated with it? USC has the Keck school of Medicine and USC students can easily do lots of research there with USC MD’s/Profs.

“In our case, the other school isn’t as highly ranked but has so many similarities to USC.”
Given that , I think going to USC is the far wiser choice.
