Help me choose where I go

College Search & Selection

So recently I heard back from all of my schools and here’s the ones that I’ve narrowed it down to
-USC
-American
-GW
-BU

I’m leaning more towards USC, American and GW because I’m majoring in international relations with an emphasis on business. However I was admitted into USC as a spring admit but it’s a really prestigious school. So I’m wondering if USC has a great IR program that competes with DC schools or should i decide between American n GW.
I haven’t heard about financial aid yet from USC but I’d be paying around 40k for GW and American.

If money is not a question, GW if you are a go-getter. You can do internships during term time, which will help you build your resume in a super-competitive field. You want no/low debt above all else in that field, which pays terribly in the early stages.
