hi, im trying to decide whether to go to tulane med or one of my state schools (suny downstate or buffalo). many have told me to go with my gut/heart, and that would definitely bring me to tulane. i was very inspired by the administration and students when i interviewed at baylor, and i think this could be a very unique and enriching med school experience for me. of course, tuition is twice as expensive than at my state schools, but this was the case for undergrad as well, and i wouldn't trade my expensive private undergrad experience at wellesley for anything. but i dont want to be naive and idealistic about tulane and nola, and some have said that the administration can be deceptive/manipulative. others have said that the undergraduate medical students can be naive, especially since they havent started to feel their debt yet. so i wonder what you older students think: was your tulane med school experience worth it, and do you have any thoughts about going to tulane now (post-hurricane)? should i go with my gut (of course i have visited nola and no matter how much info i gather, i cant seem to know for sure that the tulane med experience will be as good or better than it used to be). right now, im all about psychiatry, so any comments in terms of that specific residency and tulane would be greatly appreciated as well.
thank yoU!
