<p>I’m facing a similar dilemma between USC and NYU and i’ll be honest for me it’s all going to come down to the money, which means I’ll probably end up at USC. NYU gave me 13K in scholarships and I have to come up with the rest. I’m still waiting on my aid package from USC but i’ll be honest because I believe this applies to your situation as well after a certain point the difference in the education you will recieve at top schools just becomes negligable. USC is an amazing school in an amazing city and you will come out with half the debt you would get if you went to Duke.</p>
