Essay will be excellent as writing is my strong point
Recs will be great as well-very close relationship with counselor/teachers</p>
<p>^that’s really not true. NYU has a stonger network on the east coast but USC is the network in SoCal. Both are amazing schools and both have produced probably the greatest number of famous alumni (USC graduates include Will Farrell, George Lucas, Salvatore Ferragamo, lol). They both are amazing schools with strong alumni networks. </p>
<p>To be honest the schools attract the same applicant pool but more who apply to both schools get into NYU over USC. With a 30 ACT you have a better chance of getting into NYU.</p>
<p>I got into NYU CAS as an Econ Major and into the USC school of Accounting (which is more selective than USC CAS). Im international and my stats and EC’s were better. I chose NYU and am going there this fall, and I would recommend you to choose NYU UNLESS you want to work in SoCal, where USC is a huge brand name due to its alumni network</p>
