Although I’m waitlisted at Tech, I feel that I’m getting off soon and for the past month I’ve made no progress in deciding between these two schools. I’m a Texas resident which makes Texas tech less than 1/4 the cost of USF, the main pro , but I’ll make the list.

USF :

Pros - accepted to the SELECT program which focuses on leadership to address healthcare disparities, which is what I want to do. 2 years in Florida and 2 years in Pennsylvania
-Tampa/Allentown have much more to offer than Lubbock/midland/Odessa (all rural)
-brand new medical campus opening officially January 2020, my second semester there

Cons - much more expensive than tech
-out of state/no family in florida
-Separate from most of the student body after 2 years to study in Pennsylvania
-ranked lower academically

TTUHSC

Pros - in state, extremely affordable
- family nearby
- friends in the area
-ranked higher academically

Cons- in the middle of nowhere, and after 2 years , rotations are completed in other towns also in the middle of nowhere
-school emphasizes primary care, not exactly my focus
-not a diverse a city/town outside of the student body at all

Any and all input is appreciated, thanks!
 
Morsani and don’t look back. They are climbing ranks along with UCF. That’s my perspective, anyway, but it’s not a super educated one.
