Will going to a "deep south" school be detrimental later in life?

<p>My SAT score is actually ~1900. I pulled it up after a lot of studying. My GPA is still pretty low, but it’s high enough to get into the two schools I mentioned. I’m not concerned about my high school record as it essentially has no impact on medical school chances (they don’t even look at your high school record unless you’re doing a combined BS/MD program). I have been getting almost entirely all As this year though. I’m going to really push myself in college. M+CR score is 1275.</p>

<p>Part of the reason I’m applying to those schools specifically is they have low OOS costs (About $18,000 at LSU, about $17,000 at Ole Miss). They said they will cover some of the costs but I need to take out some loans. I will also likely apply for a part time job.</p>

<p>I want to major in Biology. My parents are biologists so they can help tutor me. We have skype. Are there any good schools for biology that would take someone with my stats?</p>

<p>Which has a better science (specifically biology) program:
Ole Miss
or LSU.</p>
