<p>USC has a very rigorous science program, so hard that many med school dreams has been crushed there. The only reason you would leave would be that you cannot handle being a pre-med at USC. This is from a former 'SC pre med student. Trust me, I know how hard it is, been there. If you don’t have what it takes to be a pre med at USC, they’ll weed out your butt so fast. Pre med students at USC, along with engineering are the smartest students on campus; you can’t be more intellectually stimulated than that. The problem is that you can’t handle it.</p>
