Caveat: did not apply to Hopkins and admitted to Prtizker, but will not be attending (even though I love, love the school and I'm from Chicago)
I'm also extremely debt conscious, like it's easily been a top 3 factor for my school choice. For loans it's important to keep in mind both the loan interest rate in med school/residency (plus the future of the SAVE plan is uncertain) and the lost time value of money. When you're an attending, you could take that money, invest it, and earn minimum 5% interest per year instead of having to pay down $150k + loan interest. They're both very good choices, but something to keep in mind (also if you'll want to do something interdisciplinary in business/law, Pritzker will have way better resources).
