<p>Hi Guys,</p>
<p>I've gotten basically all my acceptance letters at this point and I have an estimate of my financial offers, so I'd like some input on which of these schools I should choose...</p>
<p>I'm a Pre-Medicine track, looking to major in Neuroscience or Cognitive Science or something in that area (doesn't really matter if the school offers it...but just to give you an idea of what I'm interested in). I've lived in 6 different states, and that makes this decision particularly difficult cause I can adjust anywhere.</p>
<p>I want to be near a city, which all of these schools give me. I'd like a large student body, a decent party scene that can get crazy when it needs to, but that has students that will buckle down at the end of the day. I need a school where there is a relatively competitive student body (because otherwise I slack off like crazy :-P). I need DIVERSITY. I'm Asian Indian and I am so sick of white people (I'm live in Maine at the moment). It's really important to me to go to a school where I have really abundant research opportunities, and they send their students to very prestigious medical schools (which is a requirement I think all these schools fill - which makes this decision even harder!!!)</p>
<p>Tulane is about 30K for me, I'm looking into their 7 year med program and I've been accepted into their honors college. UPitt is also about 30K, I didn't get honors or anything. Ohio State is going to be about 20-25K, I should be getting into their honors college. Uminnesota is about 20-25K, I'm waiting on their honors college.</p>
<p>My question to you guys: Why Minnesota??</p>
