Trying to decide between Berkeley OOS full cost vs. full ride to Tulane. Not sure about my post-college goals but am leaning toward Med School or Grad School. I love the campus vibe, location, diversity, top faculty and student smarts at Berkeley but I am concerned about the large class size and competitiveness that may make a high GPA unachievable. I’m really looking for a balance of academics and social life. At Tulane, I like the campus. location and small class sizes but am concerned about lack of diversity (I’m from NY), the quality of the academics and its reputation as a party school. Any advice?
Save your money and go to Tulane. Medical school is expensive.
