Guys, I got into USC with a partial scholarship. How strong is USC for placement in Product Management roles in tech? I am asking specifically for bigger well known companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google and other smaller like Twitter/Zynga.
Marshall undergrad alum here. I'm in a very similar boat to you (admitted with scholarship and strongly considering returning to USC). You'll hear this a lot but but it's true- USC is a school like no other in terms of fierce alumni loyalty. If you build the right connections through the Trojan Network you'll be able to pave a nice path for yourself. For what it's worth, one of the most important PMs at my startup is a Trojan.
If you intend to work in tech in California, Marshall will provide you with all of the resources necessary to make it happen. The school's culture is very social so if you can embrace that mindset and buy into the Trojan Family I'm sure Marshall will serve you well.
