<p>If I were you I’d pick USC!! UCLA has always been my dream school, & I was accepted to both USC and UCLA (rejected from Cal though), and lately have been having trouble making up my mind! I think this post I saw by Sequoia is influencing me:
Some of my daughter’s reasons two years ago:</p>
<p>Besides the Trustee scholarship which in itself was a huge draw,</p>
<p>The TO honours program, one of the best in the country
The opportunity to partake in research very early on (she started in fall of freshman year)
USC’s policy of encouraging multi disciplinary study…the ability of double majoring or adding minors to the major.
The ease of changing majors if desired
Professors’ availability, and the fact that most classes are taught by profs
Small class size in general
Excellent guidance and advisement if necessary
Very diverse student population with a high percentage of internationals
Internships, job placement
Ease of partaking in study abroad.
Lack of bureaucracy
And school spirit, nice campus, friendly staff </p>
