As USC alumni, I have to say sth.
first of all, I am not marshall student. I just graduated from engineering school years ago.
Sth I have to clarify:
1. After Dr. Sample became president, USC college changed a lot. It is not a party school anymore. USC SAT score is higher than UCLA now and very very close to Harvard. Based on my experience in USC, that joke is just a joke and just an old joke.
2. USC not recruits in CA. USC has lots of international students. USC ranks No.2 in diversity. (No.1 is NYU)
3.Marshall is not only good in accounting but also in real estate and marketing. USC may not compete with schools at east coast for wall street's jobs, but USC definitely dominates southern california and has great reputation in asia-pacific area.
4.Marshall hired a new dean and career placement officer, who used to be career center officer of U of Chicago.
so if you can not go to top 10, USC maybe a good choice. by the way, USC has top 10 engineering, cinema, urban planning.... programs in America. So overall,USC worths your money and time. |
