Not specific to Yale/Hopkins, but really don't know how to weigh LSU against the other schools I've gotten into.
LSU NOLA
Pros:
LSU NOLA
Pros:
- 100% tuition
- Medium COL - strong family and friend support system - I grew up in the GNO area
- Lots of connections at the medical school between LSU and Tulane so the nepotism would really help with research and other opportunities
- Worried matching out of Louisiana will be hard for residency, interested in competitive specialties and do not want to stay in LA
- I choose my ugrad based off money and not prestige and had a good amount of regret over it, afraid I would have the same thoughts if I chose LSU
- Did not really vibe with the 50ish people I met during first look, the culture seems competitive with the H/HP/P/F grading
