<p>Even though I am leaning toward USC (mostly because of the presidential scholarship), I'm still not so sure where to go. </p>

<p>While I was visiting USC for the scholarship interview, I liked the spirit and everything, but I'm concerned if going to USC rather than Wellesley (or Brown, Northwestern) would undermine my chance of getting into top graduate schools. </p>

<p>The half-tuition scholarship is attractive indeed and will help my parents to pay for college, but I want to choose whatever's going to help me the most in the future. </p>

<p>So, if anyone could tell me about the general atmosphere and the relative prestigiousness of these four colleges, that would be really great!</p>

<p>THe value of the scholarship is very important.
If all other things were equal, I’d say pick NU or Brown.</p>
