Summary: I am waiting to hear back from the Air Force, if I do not receive the HPSP scholarship, UOP is off the table.
I am interested in specializing/research but it's not something I'm dead set on.
If I pick UCSF I will likely try to postpone the HPSP for 1 year and use savings to pay for the first year.
The way I'm looking at it now is if I would be willing to invest an additional year of my life at UCSF to have lower stress levels.
Input from UCSF/UOP/HPSP people is greatly appreciated!

School 1: UCSF (IS)
Pros:
- P/NP
- more free time, students seem to have lower stress levels
- better research opportunities
- from what I've seen I'd fit in better with the student body but that's a hard thing to be sure of/ quantify
- 4 years
- old facilities
- weaker clinical
Pros:
- 3 years!
- really nice facilities
- great clinical program
- no gym on campus
- high stress- especially 1st year
- difficult (but still possible) to specialize
