<p>I am applying to both Tufts(bioengineering) and USC(BME). My undergraduate major is biology. Which one should I attend? as an international student hoping to find a job in US?</p>
<p>Both of them are really hard to get in. Especially for international students.
Are you aware that USC doesn’t offer any financial aid to international students?</p>
<p>I’d go to Tufts. It’s a great school. </p>
<p>USC is bigger and probably slightly easier to get in.</p>
<p>Tufts is an amazing school.</p>
<p>Your chances of getting into either, especially as an international, are VERY LOW. Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. If you get into one, go to it. If you manage to get into both, THEN try to decide and post threads like this. Until then, worry about more important things.</p>
<p>USC is either #1 or #2 in the US when it comes to International students. (Columbia in NYC is the other.) So I don’t know why being International would be a big impediment.</p>
<p>Beyond that, USC and Tufts are both hard to get into, though.</p>
<p>USC has the biggest international student population in the country! (about 10%) So, if you want to be around a lot of international diversity, that’s a plus for SC. I’d also consider that SC is a LOT bigger than Tufts - more classes to take, more departments to explore, etc. Although, I’d say the quality and the caliber of education is the same, both are excellent schools.</p>
<p>I’d say the MOST major difference would be, would you want to stay on the West Coast or the East Coast after graduation? Los Angeles or NYC? Both are fantastic institutions but much more respected in their regions. USC is a BIG DEAL in California, like Tufts is a big deal in New England, but neither carry as much weight in the rest of the country as they do close by. 75% of SC alumni live in California, I believe was one of the statistics given to us.</p>
<p>But, ultimately, you can’t go wrong with either fantastic institution (although I am clearly biased.) Best of luck!</p>
