USC and UCLA are comparable in the LA market. Both schools have completely different environments/feels so you have to go with what you like. Strictly by the numbers, UCLA places a higher %, about 4-5%, into biglaw + fed clerkship. UCLA has about 100 more students per class as well. Both have new deans that started at the same time in the past year. I would recommend visiting both before picking one. If it were me, I would lean towards USC but it would ultimately come down to whichever school gave me the most money.

UCLA/USC both have better big law placement, so if region doesn't matter then they definitely are better than vanderbilt. And UCLA probably has a better name overall, so that might give it an edge over USC. Its also cheaper.
