Purdue seems to be the highest up on medical rankings. I'm not sure about nursing though, but one of my friends is taking premed there.

I would choose the lease expensive one and I would check out each schools curriculum to make sure you meet all their requirements and also to get an idea what the schedules going to be like to best fit your needs such as if you still need time to work a few hours or if you need childcare, etc. Also it really doesn't matter what school you go to for nursing as long as its accredited and you can pass your NCLEX exam after you graduate. Employers will hire you regardless.

I see you chose six state institutions. The only cheaper option you had was Ivy with their 2-year degree and dirt-cheap tuition. (This would get you on the job immediately, and access to a state school for the RN-BSN program). Let's set aside for the moment whether you could actually get admitted to one of those schools, or whether you could survive the four years there (these, by the way, are two critical questions you want to ask the school reps when you visit the campuses: admission rate/waiting period, and washout rate). Best advice is to work backwards. Pick the hospital or health care settings you'd like to work in after graduation. Then shadow the Nurses there. Ask the Nurses lots and lots of questions. Find out which schools the people in charge of hiring tend to favor. Find out which schools produce Nurses with attitude problems. Find out which schools come to this particular hospital for clinicals and ask the students from those schools whether or not they screwed up by going there. I have heard, by the way, that Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie is a place you want to stay faaaar away from, but that's from limited sources. Yours might tell you otherwise. Good luck.
