USC vs. Cal — Political Science

Hey all,

I need some advice on which college to choose :frowning: I got off the Cal waitlist Monday (regular fall admission, not FPF or GEL) and now have to choose between there and USC. (was low key hoping that I wouldn’t have to make this decision) Some facts about my situation:

  • I'm interested in studying political science, which I know Berkeley has the better nationally ranked program for; USC's isn't that bad though.
  • I'm a spring admit at USC, which doesn't really matter to me because I talked to a bunch of people about it and it doesn't seem too bad. I also got some honors benefits there too.
  • Money isn't too much of a concern for USC relative to Cal, because I got National Merit plus some more money on top of it.

It really feels like I can’t go wrong either way, but I need to choose. Any help would be appreciated :slight_smile:
