So I'm finding myself in a very fortunate situation. I've been accepted into my two top-choice schools. I'll call them School A and School B. Both are mid-tier (very similar ranking), public schools in my state of residence, so the cost is very similar and affordable compared to schools in other states. I really like the locations of both School A and B, which is an important factor for me when choosing a school.
I've also been accepted into another school that I'll call School C. I really liked the curriculum, size, and supportive environment of School C, but I really, really don't like where it's located (and I know I don't like it because I've lived there before). Also, it's a lower-tier school. That doesn't matter as much as location, but it is something that I consider.
I recently got an email from School C awarding me a very generous scholarship. Enough to cover almost 100% of tuition and fees for the next 4 years.
I don't know what to do. I really like Schools A and B, but I don't know if I like them enough relative to School C to justify passing up such a generous scholarship. Plus, every practicing physician who I've talked to said that it doesn't matter where you go to school because you're going to get a strong medical education anywhere.
Can anybody offer advice? I thought that I had it narrowed down to two schools before I got the email, and now I'm back to the drawing board!
