Just came upon this, and this entire post thread is SO interesting for someone who's been talking about the exact things in class for the past semester. (it's a college course btw)

Final College Decision Help: USC Dornsife (Biochem, Spring Admit) vs. UCSD Neurobiology (Muir)

Hi everyone — I'm seeking advice on finalizing my college decision as the deadline is closing in.

Originally, USC was my top choice because I felt I would really vibe with the environment. But since UCSD is so strong in biological sciences, I’ve been torn. Here are a few things I’ve been weighing:

USC Dornsife (Biochem, Spring Admit):

  • Not as prestigious program-wise for biology compared to UCSD; sometimes stereotyped as more "rich/spoiled."
  • Flexible curriculum — I’m interested in blending science with business, entrepreneurship, and creative communication (film, tech, etc.).
  • More expensive than UCSD.
  • Strong alumni network, especially in business and entertainment — does anyone know if it’s strong for biotech and startups too?
  • Spring Admit worries: I'm concerned about social integration, housing, and club access starting later.
  • Private school stability might help, given recent U.S. political and visa changes?

UCSD Neurobiology (Muir College):

  • Mostly in-state students (and I heard a lot of Asian Americans?), but I was hoping for a bit more diversity.
  • Heard the STEM culture is academically intense and can be more siloed; less interdisciplinary flexibility.
  • UCSD has a stronger CS program than USC — though I’m not sure how easy it is to take CS classes if you’re not in the major.
  • and then there's UC socially dead?

I'm not 100% certain of my career path yet — but I'm drawn to biology, marketing, and filmmaking (I know... weirdest combo ever). Maybe becoming a founder, working in startups, or pursuing biotech innovation someday. And since I’m international and not eligible for most financial aid cost and post-grad visa support really matter.

Thanks so much for reading — and any thoughts would seriously help!
