<p>While I’m not trying to bang on Vandy’s status of prestige, you should probably realize that USC isn’t exactly that much inferior…if at all. I’m from the Southeast so maybe I’ve just gotten so used to Vandy that it isn’t such a big deal. I’m not saying it’s not a big deal, because it is, but practically everyone I know from my school has gotten in (then again I’m from an IB school) so it’s one of those situations…But what I’m trying to say is you shouldn’t place Vanderbilt all that much above USC in terms of prestige. Remember that USC is still rising and will likely keep rising in the rankings in the future. IMO, the only reason V might be regarded more highly is because they’ve been considered a top school for longer than USC has.</p>
<p>And in my honest opinion, if you’re really interested in business/entertainment there’s really no other school or program that can provide you with the best in this field/combination of fields. And obviously if USC kids can get into HLS…that means it’s possible to get into a top law school from SC. So just because you go to Vandy over USC doesn’t necessarily mean you have better chances at law school. Despite any of this talk surrounding Marshall’s “curve” or lack of “curve,” whichever it may be, most pre-law students are of the high-achieving type who are capable of doing difficult work. Since you’ve got these ambitions, I’m assuming you’re one of them. Look forward to a challenge!</p>
<p>Being an Asian kid, I know it’s really hypocritical of me to say this, but…US NEWS rankings aren’t everything 
Proof? Even if I get off of Harvard’s waitlist, I’m looking forward to being a Trojan next fall 
26 > 1, lol (to me anyway)</p>
