Hey y'all,
As you can see from the title, trying to make a decision between attending UMMC and Tulane for med school. 2nd I've applied to both schools, got waitlisted at UMMC last year and didn't make the cut at Tulane. But really lucky enough to get into both this year. However, now I've reached an impasse. Although UMMC is my home school and would offer substantially reduced tuition, I don't know how the actual schooling compares to Tulane, a school with an amazing reputation, so high in fact that thousands apply here every year. I just don't know if the price tag is worth an M.D. from there (90K per year, and sure to go up in 4 years). Price isn't the only factor, but it is a huge one. And I know the ultimate decision will be my own, but I want it to be a well-thought and informed one (which is why I'm posting here). Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks!
