<p>I was accepted to both, but I live in Indiana so I would get almost no aid from UCB since I'm OOS. The UCB financial aid said i would get only about 6k in scholarships and have to pay the rest which is about 50k/year. For USC, I know I'll get about 20k for being a national merit finalist and i think they'll give me some university grants to cover rest of the 30k (USC costs about 50k as well). </p>
<p>So pretty much, the decision is either go to USC for less than 30k a year or go to UCB for 50k a year. I want to major either Biomedical Engineering or Business Administration (not sure yet...). I know that Berkeley has more prestige and is ranked 2nd in Engineering and Business Undergrad programs while USC is 10th in Business Undergrad and I think Top 25 for Undergrad Engineering. If money wasn't a problem, I would want to go to UCB, but what do you guys think... Is it really worth it to pay 50k/year?</p>
<p>If I were you, I would go to USC’s Marshall for sure.</p>
<p>Haas is way better than Marshall for opportunities. For ex, their AKPsi and DSP (biz frats) have more people in ibanking than USC as a whole lol. It really depends what you want to do with those degrees</p>
<p>don’t forget that you still have to apply to haas and if accepted, you start in your third year. if i’m correct, about 50% of berkeley applicants get into haas</p>
<p>sorry for the double post, but here is the fall 2010 class profile from haas’ website</p>
<p>[Class</a> Profile, Undergraduate Program - Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley](<a href=“Class Profile - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas”>Class Profile - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas)</p>
<p>You have been admitted to Marshall. It is a top ten business school. If you look through the rankings of specialties within the school on USNews a number are in the top five, Entrepreneurship is #3.</p>
<p>There is no guarantee in two years you will be admitted to Hass.</p>
<p>Let us face it, $80,000 is a huge saving. </p>
