USC vs. UCLA Regents

<p>Thank for that info…I understood that the Regents was a fixed amount award.</p>

<p>One more thing to add in favour of USC is the Thematic Option program, if this interests you. Known to be one of the best liberal arts honours programs of any of the top US universities. Very small classes with top profs, very challenging material and I believe particularly valuable for a poly sci major … breadth of knowledge and in honing writing skills. </p>

<p>With a very low EFC, and your 1/2 tuition scholarship, it’s likely you’ll get a lot of aid, possibly grants, at USC. It will be a difficult decision.
Best of luck to you.</p>
