Stanford/Princeton/MIT vs USC (full scholarship) for Engineering

If you want to be in engineering, USC is fine. If you think you may want to pivot into either finance or go the startup route, you should consider the other schools seriously. As many people say, kids change their mind many times, and you want them to be exposed to things where they consider new information and potentially change their mind. This will probably happen less at USC. You don’t know what you don’t know in terms of what opportunities are out there unless you go to these places.
