I’m wondering how many people turn down Ivies and ivy-tier schools for usc if they got the trustee or presidential scholar. I have a trustee scholarship and am wondering whether to turn down duke or brown, etc. I plan to pursue a career in consulting or finance

I turned down the University of Pennsylvania (with basically a full-ride in grants) for USC Trustee, but I’m also in the film school, so…

Daughter has Mork for BME/premed. Debating between USC, Yale and Johns Hopkins. Decision is pretty much tearing her apart. Who knew good news would be so stressful?

DS turned down Chicago, Brown, Dartmouth, Wash U, Pomona and others 10 years ago for a Trustee Scholarship.
He did not regret it for one day. In fact he wants to return to USC to teach.
Having USC Trustee Scholar on his CV certainly did not hurt him when it came time to apply to top PhD programs- got into all of them , including the U that turned him down for UG.
