Hey everyone,
I've been admitted to both USC and UCLA for their MS in Business Analytics programs. I'm having a really tough time choosing between the two, they each have different but equally good benefits. A little about me, I'm a recent Econ grad and going into this program with no full-time work exp. My target industries for post MSBA are media/entertainment, tech, and financial services, in that order. My goal is to work in analytics for a while after MSBA, then get an MBA to start working in product management or consulting.
QS ranks the USC program at #6 worldwide, and UCLA is ranked #2. Normally a higher ranked program would be a no-brainer, but I have seen and heard that the USC Marshall/overall USC network is much stronger than UCLA Anderson's. I've also looked at which companies hire from each school and they are 90% the same companies.
I would appreciate any insights on the differences between the programs, schools, prestige, culture, etc of each school. Thank you!!

USC recently had a serious shakeup at Dean of the school. The rankings this past year were still good, but only time will tell there.
I've heard mixed things about USC, but everything I've heard about UCLA has been strong.
I'm considering an EMBA and UCLA is on my short list. In addition to having a program format that'd work for me, the career services person I spoke to was 100% the real deal.
I'm also considering an OMBA, and I took USC of that list a while ago (mainly because I wasn't a fan of the format, and didn't understand how their career team would be able to help me in my unique situation). UCLA doesn't offer an OMBA.
I do not know ANYTHING about either school's MSBA program.
......
Maybe you could see if either one would kick some $ your way to make the decision easier?

my friend is at UCLA MSBA, and is pretty happy with the program
he got a FAANG internship, and it sounds like internship placements overall were pretty strong (at least, pre corona)
my vote would be for UCLA; in addition to the aforementioned points, it's slightly more well known, and a respected research institution
