Hello! I’m really struggling to decide between these schools and need to make a choice ASAP. Also, I’m stuffing mechanical engineering and was admitted into that for both!
- USC: I have the presidential scholarship, Viterbi fellow, and Viterbi scholar awards…but I still have an approximated net cost of 9k per year.
- UCSD: I was accepted into a program for underrepresented STEM majors that helps meet the rest of my aid.
Some things to consider: I’m not expecting financial help from my family, I’m kind of worried about taking out loans, and I want to be somewhere that I can have access to internships and research.
