Take MCW or VCU then. They’re equivalent, there is no prestige difference and residency match is on you. VCU will not be as cold in winter so that’s better for a Californian.

Stay away from Cal Northstate since you have other acceptances.
 
Also choosing between Creighton and MCW (among others). I was heavily leaning toward MCW over Creighton due to the integration of research and service provided through the scholarly pathways. Also loved that they had home residency programs in a number of specialities and plenty of research opportunities. I do admit that the the culture at Creighton seems very supportive and collaborative. But for me, if aid weren't a factor, MCW would prevail over Creighton
 
Avoid California Northstate due to their accreditation issues and glaring issues. Between the other 3, I would take either VCU or Creighton (I wouldn’t take MCW due to the cold winter weather honestly). Try talking to current VCU students to see how the student culture and school values are because it may be as good as Creighton for all you know. If VCU and Creighton seen similar in terms of the culture and value aspects, then go to VCU (plastic surgery matches, higher ranked, etc).
