Congrats on the acceptances and scholarships!

All 3 are positioned well academically to prepare you for the MCAT and medical school, so you’ve noted already that UIC would be the most cost effective. That could be a large consideration since medical school is so expensive.

SLU probably has the most traditional campus feeling (with mainly residential students), followed by Loyola (majority residential students but a large commuter population) and UIC (more commuter students compared to residential students, although that has been changing over recent years). Definitely visit all 3 if you haven’t done so already since they are distinct atmospheres.
