USC vs WUSTL

I’m a current Senior who was accepted into the Biomedical Engineering prog at Washu, and into the Biophysics prog, with Premed track at USC (my first choice was Biomed, but I am already considering a switch to neuroscience). I live in western New York, and due to the current public health crisis all college campuses are closed and my first experience at each of these schools would be in the fall when moving in. Financially, Washu is cheaper but USC is not entirely out of my price range. I’m planning on applying to med school after completing my undergraduate degree, so if anyone had experience applying out of either of these schools that would be appreciated. I was hoping some current students or Alumni would be able to tell me more about each school and help make my decision easier as I would be moving across the country to go to either of these schools.

2 VERY different schools- so much so that I question why someone would apply to both.
there is no bad choice here academically although or prestige-wise. it’s really about the environment- big, rah-rah sports scene vs smaller more LAC-like. personal preference.

given how undecided you sound, I would go with the smaller school, where you will have more guidance and be less left to find your own way. If you aren’t coming here excited as all heck about USC then I would go to Wash U.
