Toledo
Pros: top notch sim center, great facilities, could get in-state tuition after first year, suburban location, could do some rotations at UMich Ann Arbor

Cons: match for specialties seems ok but matched hospitals are not to the 'caliber' of the hospitals that Tulane students match at; most students from Ohio/at least 50% match in Ohio, not true pass/fail

Tulane
Pros: diversity of student body and patients, amazing match list for both specialties and hospitals, true pass/fail, known for its public/global health research, unique NOLA culture, brand new hospital

Cons: expensive, potential for flooding/hurricanes, rather humid

What's the difference in total COA?

What's the difference in total COA?

It could be potentially 60k (tulane more than toledo)

If it's only 60k more in total over the four years, that's not a huge difference (for med school) and maybe not worth using as the deciding factor. I'd go with the school you liked better (curriculum, opportunities, location, etc.) and felt more of a fit. Best of luck!

I think 60k will eventually be much more after you graduate, so I would consider that a significant amount of debt. However, definitely choose the school you think you'd be happier at.
