Jefferson vs. Iowa vs. Tulane vs. Ohio State

[OSUbee355]

As mentioned in the title, I'm pretty torn where to go. All of them have P/F and non-mandatory, recorded lectures. Besides Tulane, Iowa, OSU, and Jeff seem to have pretty good research program

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I loved my interview day at osu and assuming you're an Ohio resident it will probably be your cheapest option.

Did you really like them all equally? Can you provide more details to help narrow it down like what you think about the location, how you felt on interview day, what factors are important to you, etc. That way people can advise you better.

Your name has OSU in it. Go to OSU.

I like them all. I graduated from OSU so I know my way around the city. I like what Jeff has to offer along with Philly. Tulane is also great with a lots to do. Iowa has a good program but expensive OOS tuition and there is not much in Iowa City.

I'm from CA, so I'll be OOS for all of the schools. OSU, however, has very affordable OOS tuition. But I want to enjoy a new environment and city life.

Hey there! I love the city of Philadelphia. If you want to get to know a new city, I can’t recommend philly enough. Great food, cool art scene, tons of history and culture, good night life. The city is easily walkable and jeff is located in the best part of it (old city/gayborhood area). Also, this is totally anecdotal, but I’ve talked to a lot of happy students there. They don’t generally seem stressed and they seem like they’re social and collaborative. And from my estimation Jeff definitively does have more research opportunities than Tulane since they have more NIH funding.

Iowa is a fantastic program and contrary to what many people assume, Iowa City is actually quite fun. That said, any of the programs will get you where you want to go. Go to the least expensive school or the school nearest your support system - you are going to be very busy.

Not sure about Tulane, but between the other 3 OSU has the cheapest tuition bc in state is so darn easy to get. I personally loved the interview day there and thought their program was wonderful. What are your pros/cons for each school?

OSU will be cheaper
