<p>Hello,</p>
<p>So I'm pretty much deciding between USC or Rice (unless my waitlisted schools come through which is a long shot!) but I was wondering which school is better for Global/Public Health. I know USC has a whole major in Global Health and when I visited for Explore USC, they presented the programs in an amazing way that made me really like the school and program. As for Rice, I haven't visited yet (I'm going April 12 - April 13) but I know they only have a minor in Global Health but some of the people I have been talking to have said that they have a good Health Sciences major that would be ideal for me. I'm not sure if that would work in the Global Health/Public Health spectrum though so I was wondering if anyone could help enlighten me on what you think is better!</p>
<p>Since college students are more than not likely to change their intended majors after going to college, I'm also considering other factors in deciding between the two schools (like money, class sizes, professor availability etc). I want to go to a smaller school with smaller size classes which Rice definitively has more prevalent than USC but I did receive a merit based, half scholarship (Presidential Scholar) from USC which is rather enticing as not only does it give half tuition off but I get to live in a special Brinkrant dorm which is pretty awesome! </p>
<p>Sorry for long post, but with all these mind, what do you guys think is better for me?</p>
<p>Thanks for any input!!</p>
<p>P.S Just for more information, I DO plan on going to med school if that plays a factor in any way!</p>
