Tough one. With your G.P.A., I’m assuming you (currently) are not accepted to either honors program at these schools. If so, I think your chances are quite slim of transferring into Chicago or UWASH. If they did accept you, it is doubtful that they will offer you financing that will compete against current options.

Personally, I don’t differentiate LSU from OSU other than the first letter so I’d just go to the cheaper school. Once on campus, get good grades and get into their honors program, get good grades there and you will have a ton of options for graduate school study.
