<p>Got into both. No money so the price is about equal. I'm from SoCal but don't really know where I'll end up long-run. I'm planning to go pre-med, but that could change.</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I posted this in the other USC vs. X pre-med thread:</p>

<p>As you may or may not know, the ranking of your undergraduate school doesn’t make a big difference when applying to medical schools. The most important things are GPA, science GPA, MCAT score, and EC’s. Thus, comparing arbitrary rankings is not the most important consideration (many will argue that it is not important at all).</p>

<p>You should be looking for the school you’d do the best at because: you are happy, you can get high grades, the pre-med advising is excellent, and there are numerous opportunities to get in med school EC’s.</p>

<p>You should also choose a school you’d be happy at if you change your mind like 50% of pre-meds eventually do. Would you want to be at USC/Boston College if you were not a pre-med??</p>

<p>USC has excellent pre-med advising and opportunities for pre-med students. Check out the pre-med advisement Facebook page:</p>

<p>I have this same choice now that I’ve been bumped up into the Fall admit group. Anyone have opinions?</p>
