I am trying to decide between USC Marshall school of business and the Canfield Business Honors program at UT McCombs school of business. I am interested in exploring consulting / finance careers.
I got a 25% scholarship at USC and I am OOS for UT so both programs would cost me roughly the same. My parents are willing to cover the cost so I would not be in debt.

both are awesome schools and you can't go wrong with either. but ive seen more longhorns than trojans on the street, as it would seem that usc is much stronger on the west coast.
On face value, from someone who's giving a frank opinion, USC is far more prestigious.
But I am sure there are nuances (regional aspirations, family) that could sway one to pick one over the other....
