Howard is an HBCU, while Tulane is a PWI. At Howard, you would see people who look like you and won’t be the only black person in the class. At Tulane, there’s not a lot of black people, especially in the surrounding area. They both have beautiful campuses. They both have medical schools that give preferences to students who went to their schools for undergrad. Medical school tends to have similar demographics as Tulane. So don’t be surprised if you’re one of the few black students in your class. At many PWIs, the black community is so united and has so many events. You should contact the BSU president and have a conversation with her and get her advice as well.
I would go to Tulane.
