<p>Starting salaries, job opportuniites, and grad school acceptances, How close are Univ of Southern Cal, and UCSB to Mich?</p>
<p>Two points:</p>
<p>1) Students have access to all that they need to learn more than they could ever dream of learning at any of those three schools.</p>
<p>2) Top students at those three schools will have many opportunities, both with top graduate programs and with employers of choice.</p>
<p>That said, Michigan > USC > UCSB</p>
<p>lol that answer was too obvious considering you asked Alexandre...I don't think it's that decisive, although I DO think UCSB is nowhere near the other two...</p>
<p>actually if you are talking about starting salaries/job opportunities, the edge goes to USC's prestigious trojan family connections...the reason why the school has so many funds pouring in from alumni is because of the great wealth the graduates gain right off the bat. also, usc alumni hire other alums almost automatically, which means you're almost guaranteed a spot in some sort of successful company/area right away</p>
<p>Let me get this straight, Alexandre is biased toward Michigan but "Futuretrojan" is not biased toward USC! LOL </p>
<p>Trojan, Michigan's alumni base is:</p>
<p>1) One of the wealthiest and most successful in the nation (certainly as successful and wealthy as USC's, if not more)
2) THE largest in the nation (no school has more living alums)
3) One of the most loyal (no alumni network is more powerful or effective than Michigan's...but I agree that the same thing can be said of Notre Dame, Dartmouth, USC etc...)</p>
<p>But the alums of those two schools only make up 2% of the entire nation. To most of the reamining successful academics and corporate recruitiers who aren't USC or Michigan alums, Michigan has the edge over USC.</p>
