<p>bioeng, tough to say if you will be able to “stand out easier” at USC. Both schools have comparable student bodies, so i would assume you would be facing a comparable level of competition in each program.</p>
<p>brand_182: I fully admit I’m biased towards Marshall, but that’s why I attempted to provide objective support from my opinion. Cornell’s AEM course-offerings look quite unimpressive in comparison to Marshall’s, and I certainly believe that could be representative of the program’s overall quality. First of all, AEM doesn’t even have it’s own school, and secondly, merely being in the Ivy League does not guarantee that “AEM has nowhere to go but up”. AEM isn’t comparable in anyway to Wharton, and trying to associate the two schools is ridiculous.</p>
