Just curious as to why you wouldn't consider LSU? Most physicians I have spoken to favor it vs Tulane. This had surprised me because I grew up thinking Tulane was far better.

I was considering LSU especially with their 32-hour policy, however the strong bias toward instate and regional ties made me take it off the list.
