I currently am a freshman at Emory but I'm thinking of transferring to USC because I would like to work on the West Coast. I would assume I have a better shot at getting into west coast banking coming from USC rather than Emory. Any thoughts?

Emory places well in Atlanta/NYC while USC places well nationally with an emphasis on the West Coast. Transferring makes sense given your goals.
I appreciate your help!!
USC is a great school, and feeds extraordinarily well into Consulting. Banking is a much smaller group of students but still very prevalent. Be sure the beat the Marshall curve! Best of luck with the transfer!
Thank you for the advice...will definitely take this into account
