Alright another one of these threads..I'm still kinda torn between my three acceptances.
Although I would be happy with any of these 3 places, my general goals are
1. Stay in CA if possible
2. I'd like to end up teaching @ a medical school later on (this counts as academic medicine?)
3. Leave doors open for more competitive specialties.
Loma Linda still hasn't given me financial aid info so I can't make an informed decision yet but based on cost alone, would $40k-$50 make that much of a difference?
Thanks again for your input.

Possibly lifestyle policy (I don't engage in what they forbid often but I'd like that option if needed.)
