<p>Well you have many schools from the Mid-West and then you have USC and two Texas schools. First, I’d figure out where you want to attend school/where you see yourself working after school. Cali and TX have very different climates and even potentially different lifestyles than PA/OH/IL. Also, the strength of the degree you get (even from the strong programs as you’ve listed) is going to vary depending on where you are pursuing a job at.</p>
