Hello,

I am going to apply to both USC and UCLA MBA. I am in the process of writing my essays.

I would be grateful if former or current students could explain what the respective advantages (and weaknesses) of these two universities are.

Thanks,

Laurent

Good call, York. Nice to see someone's keeping an eye out on what's going on elsewhere on the board.

No answer me this: how come you've got three stars for 70+ posts and I've only got 4 for almost 250? Either your comments and advice are just much better than mine (hey, I can accept that!), or I smell a global conspiracy.

I need to know!!!*

Hiya laurent - I lived in California for a long time, and can tell you that both schools - USC and UCLA - are pretty neck-and-neck in terms of reputation. Both are excellent! Either one will be fantastic for your resume. Don't quote me on this, but I think UCLA Anderson had a slight edge in the rankings...again, that's just my dodgy recollection. And though both campuses are beautiful, UCLA also has a slight edge in terms of location in Los Angeles. My hunch is that you can't lose with either one. Good Luck! Evan

Hey lukeh, you got 5 stars, so why complain!

It's not the size of your star that counts, but how you use it.


Oh....

I happened to come across this link to some info sessions UCLA are doing with NUS to publicise the two schools' EMBA program. I know that's not the precise course you're looking at, but staff from UCLA will be at these, and with events in most big cities around the globe, perhaps this could be a good way of finding out a bit more?
