UNC ($$$) vs USC ($) [#permalink] UNC ($$$) vs USC ($)   14 Apr 2024, 08:48
­Hi everyone,

I got UNC with scholarship $$$ and USC Marshall with $. I am an indian student currently in IT as QA engineer from past 5 years and looking to pivot into Product Management roles. Open to IT consulting as a Plan B.

With finance being a major factor in making the B-school decision, am not able to decide which college to go for based on future tech prospects.
This is my POV. Please feel free to add in your opinions and factors and correct where I am wrong.

Pros for USC -
  • LA region has more IT companies
  • Bigger brand name?
Cons for USC - 
  • Heavy debt
  • Lower ranking in latest MBA rankings as lesser students recruited this year
Pros for UNC - 
  • Less debt
Cons for UNC - 
  • Lower ranked in comparison
  • Not much IT recruiting
