<p>I know that USC is ranked higher, but UCSD is pretty good for premed; USC is so expensive, but UCSD can be so boring. I just don’t know…</p>
<p>Haha I'm in the exact same boat. If money weren't an issue, I think I would choose USC for what I'm interested in (business/communications). But I do love San Diego...</p>
<p>Hmm that's a good debate... anyone?</p>
<p>yeah for business go to USC for anything other than business go to UCSD.</p>
<p>If money is not a factor i would go to USC for the sports team, school spirit, and the fun environment. But i do love SD too.</p>
<p>same situation here:</p>
<p>UCSD Sixth College / the Jacob School of Engineeering : Computer Engineering</p>
<p>USC Marshall: Business</p>
<p>i dont know what to choose...
i guess i would have to see need-based scholarship
and figure out which major i really want to study..engineering or business (although i want to go to business school for grad)</p>
<p>o. Well I do know that USC is good for business.</p>
<p>USC is good for a lot of things... Communications, business, and music, just to name a few. And after graduation, being an alumni from USC has a lot of advantages. If you have the money, or are willing to loan it out, I'd say USC.</p>
<p>go to USC, you will have a FAR BETTER time than at ucsd</p>
<p>pimpmike: do you go to ucsd?</p>
<p>USC is in a rather "bad" area though.</p>
<p>yes i do go there.....</p>
<p>In the lon run you guys have to realize that ucsd means *<strong><em>, your gpa means *</em></strong>. most places don't ever ask you for gpa for jobs.</p>
<p>For grad school it matters but what matters more is research experience (science), for B-school its gmat and work experience, for law school its lsat......there is so much grade inflation that standardized test and other factors are more heavilly weighted</p>
<p>MOST UCSD kids have no ****ing social skills that it doesn't how smart they are, the will tank an interview</p>
<p>usc is a better school academically and in rank for many majors......
and usc campus is so pretty and clean...</p>
<p>pre-med?
UCSD, without doubt.</p>
<p>usc has a really good pre-med program, with hands on patients at there very own school hospital</p>
<p>yeah, but 42 grand a year really doesn't make sense for undergrad. I'd only go if you get a whole pile of financial aid.</p>
<p>p.s. or if you're really loaded.</p>
<p>usc offers alot of scholarships, more than that of a public school</p>
<p>yes, but i'd like to see USC give a 36,000 dollar scholarship.</p>
<p>usc gave a girl in my class a 100k scholarship.</p>
<p>she's turning it down for cornell (only 10k/yr)</p>
