<p>How would you say UMich compares to USC and UVa?? I think they are both about equally selective?? Moreso thinking about the undergrad busines schools?</p>
<p>I guess USC has the best location, girls and parties?? But for academics, campus and job prospects?</p>
<p>Also in terms of selectivity?? I would be out of state for all of them?</p>
<p>USC is a private school so not being from California, especially if you're from the midwest or south is a big plus. There are a large number of USC grads in the DC area and a very active alumni association. As with any school, jobs depend on what you major it. USC is very strong in the arts, communications, business, and engineering.</p>
<p>USC is not party school although parties are to be had. USC is not overrated. It's rated about right and will be climbing.</p>
<p>That selectivity might work for getting into the schools as a whole, but if you're strictly talking about business program, Michigan's is by far the hardest to get into. Of course, you can always just apply to LSA and transfer into business, but Ross is tough to get into no matter where you're applying from. For overall prestige, i agree that umich=uva>usc, but when it comes to business, it's something like umich>>>uva>usc. If you're going for weather and girls, I think USC is the clear choice, but for academic prestige in business, umich is the clear choice. Regarding DC kids from a previous post, you will find many at each of these campuses since kids in DC get $10k off from any public in the country I believe. Therefore, they tend to flock to the best ones, aka umich and uva, and of course still go to private schools like usc.</p>
<p>If your looking for great academics in multiple areas, I would say USC. Their motto is "breadth and depth." However, you should also know that USC is Californian in pretty much all shapes and forms. There is diversity on campus, but you should probably visit before you decide. I'm a big fan of SC and they have amazing, amazing networking connections after college and will get you a job no problem. But personally, I like UVa a lot better. Its much harder to get into out of state but that school just attracts me for some reason. As for Michigan, I have some friends that went there and absolutely loved it. All are really big sports schools and have great academics. You can't go wrong. One factor may be environment. USC is very urban and not in a very nice area of town. UVa is pretty much the opposite.</p>
<p>The main complaint during orientation last summer was that there was no air conditioning in the dorm ... yeah, it's real cold in AA in the summer.</p>
<p>Just curious, how many summer did you spend in AA?</p>
