Accepted! I was also accepted to USC a few months back (which I put the deposit down for). It's going to be a tough decision to make. UCLA education vs. USC network.
Obviously I am biased, but unless USC is offering you a partial scholarship (I am not sure if USC.PM offers one) or you attended USC undergrad, I think it would be an easy choice.
USC network in SC is indeed strong BUT there are a LOT of USC Marshall (both undergrad and MBA) graduates in SC. I have seen USC Marshall graduates competing AGAINST each other in many corporate rivalries and job positions and the gloves definitely come off. I think you are just as likely to get help from them as you are likely to find them as bitter rivals.
