I think you need to keep investigating, and wait for the final major/honors/program spots and costs you’ve been offered to make a decision. I would absolutely go back to Tulane and ask if they can find you any more money.

I don’t think it is valid to compare a large state U to a private one and say you can get the same education, and OP did mention class size and community among reasons for the Tulane love. Can you get a good education at both? Absolutely. During the wind up of covid and beyond they could look and present very very differently.

I agree that you need to look long term, and shouldn’t be making a choice that leaves you with a lot of debt given your desired school and career path.

tOSU might as well be on a different planet than Tulane, they are not equivalent choices, which does not mean that tOSU isn’t the best choice for you.
