Hi Guys,
I am admitted to Notre Dame with 25k/year fellowship. I just had my interview with USC and waiting for their feedback by April 3rd. I don't think USC will give me any money. So lets say if it doesn't, are the two schools comparable in terms of reputation and recruiting opportunities? I think both schools are ranked between 20-25, however USC is much more well known internationally. According to the brochure from each school, the companies that recruit from either schools don't seem to be too different, mostly fortune 500's with big four accounting firms(consulting arm i guess) and banks like Bank of America and Wells Fargo, etc. I would like to eventually live in Los Angeles and work in a real estate private equity firm or finance. 100k in tuition +cost of living could be quiet overwhelming. So, what do you guys think? Any comments or opinions are welcome!!
Cheers.
if you get in to usc with no $, be sure to tell them about the 25k from notre dame and ask them to reevaluate. theyre a very generous school as well. Dont know much about notredame but i agree that usc has a better name and is in a better geographical region. however usc has been a mixed bag of late and rankings have been dipping, students complaining, etc. id still go usc if u get the money equal
