Hello I’m having a really hard time deciding what school I should attend this fall. I applied to about 30 colleges and got into a lot of schools making this a very tough choice. I’ve narrowed down to 3 options
USC- Philosophy, Politics, Economics Pre-Law route
Mccombs- Business
Cornell- Transfer my sophomore year into the ILR school
First off my career path is somewhere in the business field. I want to become an entrepreneur or maybe a CEO. Of course I am not exactly sure but almost my whole family in in business and I’ve always wanted to work for myself or be a leader. I’m also interested in becoming a part of government or even a politician. It was clear to apply for business at UT which was my safety because I had auto admit. I went the Pre-Law route at USC because when I applied I went through a weird time where my uncle said a business degree was useless and I should learn another trade and still run a business on the side. This led me to apply to a variety of different majors such as comp sci even. For Cornell I’ll be completely honest I was scared to apply to Dyson and I thought ILR was the second best option and that I had a very high chance to get in. Sadly I only got a sophomore year transfer option so its 3rd on my list instead of 1st(if I got in).
I basically want to see what other people have to say about this. USC by the way only costs about $6,000 more than UT so cost is not really an issue. I also want to say that I feel really comfortable with Austin and the college because I’m from Texas but I also think a challenge and a the new city of LA will do me good. I think networking is a huge part of college and I’m not too sure where that will be best, I’m sure UT and USC have great people. Lastly prestige is a pretty big part, I feel like going to UT as a safety school for me will indicate failure almost. I hope I can get some insight on these schools. I really wish I could visit USC right now because it is definitely my top choice at the moment.
