what do you think?

Cost, location, ranking...... UCSD wins all three.
No brainer, especially if you are from CA.
Yup, UCSD.
Also, I'm pretty sure that CA has a special resident matching criterion in which state residents get priority in the match. If you're hoping to practice in CA, you'l want to keep this in mind, as well...
Can you gain residency while in medical school? I grew up in San Diego but then ended up an AZ resident (because of my husband). If I came back to CA could I be a resident again?
I'm not sure if going to Cali for med school alone would work- you'd want to call and ask someone from Admissions if they could help direct you to someone who knows the answer.
I am pretty sure, though, that if you took a year off between years 2 & 3 and got a research job you'd be a CA resident. I know people who've gone out to Cali to work for a year on purpose before applying.

In terms of stats and numbers, UCSD seems to have the upperhand. Northwestern in my opinion fights back with a very cool curriculum--very progressive and sociopolitically conscious, which jives with my educational history. Interactions with students at Northwestern also seemed to cement its place as a worthy UCSD adversary...

thanks for your help.
how do you feel about the curriculum at each of these institutions (ucsd vs. feinberg).
in any case, i'm probably going to end up in San Diego. Northwestern is just a gorgeous, though.
