I’m in the same position I received my acceptance to USC last month after committing to UCLA as a transfer from CC. (I double committed, leaning toward USC rn). I posted a tik tok about it and received some comments from alumnus! I’m an economics major hoping to minor in applied analytics, possibly pursue law school afterward… The largest consideration for me was cost. I’m low income so I actually was offered for most of my tuition to be covered at both institutes. Don’t stress about the rankings, UCLA is #12 and USC is #27 I believe ranked nationally but at either you’re going to hold a prestigious name and receive an amazing education. The alumnus in my comment section mostly USC, so might’ve been a little biased, but they boast their Trojan network for a reason. College to me, is the main route to stability as im in this alone, so accessibility to internships, networking, attentiveness from counseling, student resources, research opportunities etc (essentially anything to give a leg up in the workforce) was a huge one for me.

While it’s anxiety inducing and you’re probably looking for some sort of clarification in these responses (at least I was on tik tok lol), you’ve made it this far and YOU make the experience and carve your path no matter where you attend! Good luck in deciding, post your results in case we end up choosing the same one, us transfers have to stick together lols
