<p>I would do USC. If he is not in Honors at Carolina, he gets no special treatment (difficult to get courses he wants). He is in T.O. at USC, which is a huge gold star. I know Tustee Scholars (full tuition) at USC who did not get into T.O. I think USC alumni network would be better, as Carolina is 82% Carolina and would logically seem to be less spead out nationwide than USC’s, which is well ove r50% out of state. USC 25 years ago was a “top 50” university; now it is “top 25”. Within a generation I see it surpassing such schools as Vanderbilt, Berkeley and nuding up behind Duke. The money and the willpower is there.</p>
