U of A is by far the best choice. Not just financially, but likely educationally. If you were good enough to get into Duke and Cornell, with effort you will be at or close to the top of your class. You will get MORE research opportunities, better internships, more mentoring than you would if you were a middling student at Duke or Cornell. And no matter where you go, 50% of the class is in the bottom half. If you put in the effort, you will have the sure backing of your med. school committee.

Top of your class at a good state university has a better reputation than middle of the class ANYWHERE.

And you have no idea the opportunities that being debt-free will give you down the road.
