<p>looking at your CC name…I am guessing you’ve done some research on the band info. All I know is that the UW band is pretty legendary also. (NOT to imply that this should be a deal breaker for future schooling!) And known to be an experience that stays with the band members for life. It’s not unusual to see all the band alums sitting together down at the field during UW football games/performing during special occasions–forever. Seeing the band serenade throughout Greek row every Friday night before home football games in the fall is a special part of the UDub experience–and a lasting memory for band members and spectators alike.
Anyway, D looked at both schools (for business). OOS for UDub. Lots of $$ at USC, so money wasn’t a factor. Forget rankings. Both schools will give you great educations. Gupta was Dean at both business schools and gave them similar direction. Any ranking differences could be equalized by the potential hatred employers (if not USC alum) have for USC. You NEVER know the bias of your interviewer. I believe it is much more fateful than we like to think…
As vc08 says-go for fit. Get a good education. Recuiters will be at both schools. Alum flood the area around both institutions. Your job opportunities will be plentiful either way if your grades hold up. All you will need to do is sell yourself.
Where would you be happiest?</p>
