<p>I am currently a high school junior looking for realistic college opportunities that show strengths in Physics and Engineering. USC and UCLA seem like really amazing schools, but I am not sure how competitive and of what quality their Physics and Engineering programs are. Any thoughts on USC and UCLA would be appreciated!</p>
<p>Are you asking about competitive in terms of [ul][<em>]admission [</em>]between enrolled students [*]for jobs after college[/ul]</p>
<p>Competitive in terms of within the program itself between students. That is not of big concern though. I am mostly just trying to obtain some opinions on the overall quality of each of the programs in terms of the professors, research opportunities, and facilities that each offers, and how committed each school is to both Physics and Engineering.</p>
