The Issue with USC vs. Fordham (GW, BU, BC, etc) Forum

[Dredd_2017]

USC is way better than Fordham. I would probably take a full ride at USC (or close to it, like $45K/year) if I was LA-or-bust and didn't get solid money at a T13. I would never go to Fordham, under any condition.

USC and Fordham at near full ride is defensible for people who want LA and NYC, respectively.

As previous posters have pointed out, Fordham is stingy when it comes to merit scholarships (This has continued into this cycle) as opposed to USC's relative generosity, which makes USC objectively the superior choice if you're city-agnostic and shooting for biglaw. If you want LA or NYC then the choice is obvious, but outside of that Fordham gives so few people anywhere near a full ride that it's not worth it.

Edit: Just read OP's Cornell thread, disregard my post as I clearly fed the troll by mistake.

Whether or not you think a near full ride is likely from Fordham is entirely irrelevant to my statement.

You're are correct, but your statement holds true for such a miniscule percentage of Fordham students (At/Near full-ride) that I thought pointing out the gulf between the two was worth mentioning.

Again though, this thread and all of OP's posts are evidently flame.

When people talk about UCLA significantly overtaking USC, I assume that means in USNWR rankings? What about ATL; USC dropped like a stone? What does that mean? Simply due to the large class size, which is in correction?

tbf princetonlaw wasn't really offensive here, just... unnecessary.

My only question now is: Will this thread get BKed before it gets Moused, or Moused before it gets BKed...

(not part of the thread, you can split this up if you want.)


Bigzuck: Passes up t14s to go to ut and strikes out. Makes fun of other people for doing tiny inconsequential things that could be stupid, though obviously completely meaningless. coolbro

So how does it help your argument to make shit up about Big Zuck?

USC Dean stepped down.
