lol ok, but why is it that you say CMC + HMC “hands down”.



Because they are “better” schools than USC. The students are on another level at CMC/HMC. Name isn’t really that much of an issue because USC is not an amazing name, even if it is well known. It’s not like we are talking Cornell or UPenn vs. CMC/HMC.

There are of course huge differences between USC and the consortium, but I think it is always true that the student quality at CMC and Mudd is better than USC. The class sizes will be smaller, professors will be better teachers, material will be harder, etc. That’s invariant of what style of school you prefer.
