Anecdotal evidence: Friend who attended the same high school I did (who was a recent graduate and band assistant when I was a freshman bandie, which is how I know him) went to USC, then to Yale SOM for a PhD in their finance program. 2 other people I know (family friends) who both did USC undergrad (class of '06) and then went on to Duke Law and did a combined JD/MBA with Duke Fuqua. There are no dearth of opportunities at USC

Honestly, if its between a free education at USC and ~35k or so at Rice, I’d personally lean USC. The alumni network is MUCH stronger for USC, and in fact, you might even have a infinitesimally higher chance @ getting into east-coast grad schools, as grad. schools tend to sliiiiightly favor applicants that aren’t already in their own respective undergraduate systems (same for almost all types of grad. schools, including med. school).
