@collegedr: I am assuming that SDSU is $13,000 due to the fact you are local so you would be commuting from home and not living in the dorms and $13K is for living on campus?
Whitman is a great school, but isolated and not an easy place to fly home from for holidays and breaks. Also, the small town of Walla Walla does not have many medically related EC opportunities so something to consider. Definitely worth a visit since it is not a school for everyone.
The UC’s tend to be more generous with FA for an EFC of $0, but you still need to calculate in transportation costs. Off campus for UCSD will be very pricey. Figure on around $900+ for rent in the La Jolla area with several roommates. My son pays $850/month renting a home with 7 other students in the La Jolla area 5 minutes from UCSD. If you live in The SD area , then commuting to UCSD would be a more affordable option but your SAT score needs a bump for UCSD to be an option.
