<p>Right now, I have the Trustee Scholarship at USC, and I have in-state tuition at USC, so costs are similar. I have a feeling that McCombs BHP is a better program than Marshall, but I think if I find that Business isn't right for me, USC has better programs on the whole. Being in Texas vs California doesn't matter to me.</p>
<p>What should I do?</p>
<p>Wow I'm in a similar boat, except so different at the same time.</p>
<p>I've been accepted to BHP with merit money and in addition, only having to pay in-state tuition.</p>
<p>Here's the thing, I really, really, really want to go out and experience a new area of life instead of going to college with half my high school. I didn't even apply to Marshall because business isn't what I really want to do, heck I don't even really know why I applied UT Business. Just keeping my options open I suppose...</p>
<p>Would love to hear some opinions of OP's question</p>
<p>How much money did they give youat UT? I was only offered a one-time $1000 scholarship. I guess since I'm not NM, but I've got a 2310 SAT..?</p>
<p>I'm kinda in the same boat as OP since I'm not completely sure I want to do EE engineering either. I'm also accepted to USC and UT Austin (and UT Austin only gave me a $1000 scholarship).</p>
<p>i chose usc over ut b/c
ut is only giving me about $6,000 to $7,000 a year, and i pay in-state as well.</p>
<p>i got into both engineering honors and their natural science honors
i will lose $3,000 if i don't do engineering, but i don't want to do just engineering.</p>
<p>thus i chose USC.
i have the trustee as well. </p>
<p>plus, ut is heck ugly (from what i have heard from many ut grad/attendees)
and too many kids from my school go there, it's kinda creepy.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's why I didn't apply to UT. Everyone I know from high school will be there all because of Texas' "Everyone in the top ten percent gets in!" rule. =/</p>
<p>Reasons to pick SC...
Diversity in classmates
More emphasis on Pacific Rim
Beautiful campus filled with fountains, flowers and tropical plants
Located in a top media center
Strong network of the Trojan Family
Fine programs in accounting, entrepreneurship, management and finance
Low faculty/student ratio
It is only about 15 miles to the beach!
Great weather
The more personal touch of a private university</p>
