hey, are you sure rush is only 50k? Tuition plus 15k is a good estimate if you have affordable housing i think. I think the difference will not be 10k, more like 3 or 4k at most (if you live in dorms, you save alot of money, bceause its 7k a year vs. paying rent and utilities on an apartment for 12 months. its a good idea if you have a house to live in when school is out).
I would say go to tufts not just on location but rep. Lots of people know tufts because they all applied to undergrad schools and know it. Also, tufts is ranked. I don't want to knock any schools, but my understanding is Drexel, NYCM, Fitch, and Rush are like complete safety schools. EVMS and Temple too, especially for out of staters. They are not bad, they just have that stigma attatched because they are expensive, unknown outside medical world (they have no undergrad schools) and completely unranked. I don't really care about rankings except for them to give me a vague idea of where a school is in the game, but still we know that #1 is cooler than #40, no matter how you slice it. Tufts has a stigma for being expensive too, but what would you rather have?
Hey, i am not knocking anyone who goes to those schools or doubt that people wouldn't choose it over other places, but i am just being honest based on what i've seen, read, and heard. Ok?
But either way, you're going to be in quite a hole financially, unless you got peeps that will pay for ya. The question is: where do you want to dig it baby? haha
Btw, thanks Rush college for not sending me an interview despite answering all those bloody questions on the secondary (i freaking cut and paste that shiznit...it took forever!). I wouldn't have gone after october anyway, but still man, what a hit.
anyway, back to figuring out how to run this ws 65813 ...if you're up on that, playa.
