UCLA v USC v NYU

<p>Hi, I was recently accepted into many schools and narrowed my choices into USC, UCLA, and NYU for Fall 2013. </p>

<p>Now, here is my dilemma. I never imagined getting into all of my top three schools, so I assumed my decision would be made for me. And while it is amazing to be accepted into all these great universities, it has made my decision very difficult. </p>

<p>I was admitted into USC Annenberg, majoring in Communications. I was admitted into UCLA as an Undeclared Humanities major, planning to become a Communications major during my junior year. I was admitted into NYU Steinhardt as a Media, Culture, and Communications Major. I plan to work in the entertainment industry, possibly as an agent. </p>

<p>Some of my concerns:
Cost-I am a LA native, making UCLA cheaper for me. In addition, I received an extremely large scholarship to NYU. I still have not received my aid package from USC, but I know that USC is an extremely expensive school.
Ranking: I want to get the best education possible. I know that UCLA is the #2 public school in the country, and that UCLA is ranked much higher than USC or NYU, but ranking doesn't allows translate to the best education. However, I know that for my major in Communication, Annenberg is the top ranked school in the country. Is it more important for my university ranking or my individual sub-school/major ranking to be higher?
Post Graduation: I am taking into consideration my ability to work with a community post graduation. From what I have seen, only USC really has a strong Alumni association. </p>

<p>Any advice would be very much appreciated!!</p>
