Hello! So I am a high school senior looking to decide on a school by May 1 (last minute, I know, I didn’t think it would come down to this) and I have narrowed it down to Baylor University and the University of Southern California.
I am planning on becoming an Anthropology major (Pre-Med track) with a possible minor in music composition.
I enrolled in Baylor about two weeks ago, but am now feeling silly for rejecting such a top-tier school. Yet, I do know Baylor has a pretty good Pre-Med program.
I was lucky enough to recieve a merit scholarship from Baylor, which would bring the total cost to half of USC’s.
So, the question is: are USC’s science programs and prestige (and the atmosphere and overall living, of course), worth twice as much as Baylor’s?
Any help is appreciated, I am going nuts.
No but the music school at USC is awesome.
Half tuition is a better short term deal, but if you can afford both with manageable debt, then consider both and visit each school to see where you are a better fit. You have time. Good luck.
If you enrolled at Baylor, I don’t know if you’d be able to back out of it. If you could, you won’t get your money back. Don’t second-guess your decision! Baylor is a good school where you can receive a solid education at a GOOD price. USC’s “prestige” isn’t worth all that extra money if you want to go to med school.
