USC spring admit vs UIUC

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Southern California

<p>I honestly can't decide which school to attend. I was accepted to the Marshall school of business at usc and the college of business at uiuc. I liked both schools but the cons about usc is the cost as I have to pay full tuition although money is not too much of an issue in my family. Also, another con is that I got accepted as a spring admit meaning I would have to start school in spring semester 2015. I really liked uiuc and get instate tuition but I feel like I would have less opportunities than usc, lose the connections, and the prestige is higher at usc. Also, I am looking to apply to high end MBA degrees after college. What do you guys think I should do in terms of future business career success, starting jobs, and social aspects as I want to enjoy a fun college experience?</p>

<p>If money is truly not an issue, than I would choose USC. You can always work the fall semester to make a little extra money or attend a Community College to keep on track with your peers at USC. Just make sure you contact your counselor at USC if you choose to do this so you can make sure the classes you enroll in are going to be accepted at USC </p>

<p>@bbgg‌ thanks for your input but I am afraid that I will lose the freshman experience and social aspects if I go in the spring. Also I feel like similar companies hire from both school. </p>

<p>Have you considered American University? It sounds really cool!</p>

<p>The most common way is to attend a community college for the Fall semester and get transferable GE units (there is a form to obtain pre-approval). Attending a CC will also save you some money since you wouldnt have to pay to take the same and more expensive class at USC</p>

<p>Despite it being posted on the USC website they no longer use the Spring admit pre-approval form. I learned this on Friday directly from USC. The process is to now contact your admissions counselor. That is what my son did but he has not yet heard back. We really want to have pre-approval before signing up for CC courses.</p>
