Tennessee vs. South Carolina

If she’s a top student and applied to the Honors College, definitely UoSC. Business Analytics is akin to Business Data Science so a concentration backed by a minor in statistics is actually stronger.

Usc has a really nice campus and it attracts students from throughout the Eastern seaboard thanks to its topnotch Honors college, so that there’s more geographical diversity than at many Southern flagships, while still having a definitely “Southern” vibe. Only you/your child would know whether meeting kids from outside the South matters.

UTK will be the most outdoorsy. Good honors programs although not as wide ranging and excellent as USC’s.

UTK would be mountains, USC would be beaches.

The focus on looks and brands can be overwhelming for girls at some universities and if your daughter is into casual dress and/or dislikes consumerism then UAuburn is probably not the right fit.
