Thank you guys!

@FriendlyNerd888‌ Not very heavily at the moment, but my parents are convinced I’m going to go to law school. I know I will end up pursuing advanced degrees so if not law, a Master’s/PhD program.

@taka89‌ The only school I haven’t visited is Georgetown, but that’s likely out of the option since it’s 67k a year for me. It’s probably just between Duke, Rice (just cause it’s close to home), and USC. I really did like USC when I visited. I stayed in Birnkrant and clicked with my host’s floor pretty well. Hoping it’s like that if I enroll – I am not interested in Greek life and none of them were either.

Also @SeattleTW‌ / taka89 / anyone else: this kind of breaks the realm of USC but my mom’s been telling me that it’s best to get a broad undergraduate degree because it’s grad/law school when you specialize? I guess she was saying public policy is too specific but IR is alright (my intended major right now). Just wondering what your thoughts are and how that applied to the majors at USC.
