<p>I know that being able to say that you went to a highly ranked school is awesome and all, but I doubt it will be worth putting yourself in thousands of dollars of debt. If what previous posters have said about Ivies not giving merit based scholarships, I would highly recommend looking at less prestigious schools. With an ACT score of 33, there are some schools that will give you almost full tuition if not more automatically. </p>
<p>I don’t know what your goals are in the long run regarding career aspirations, but you could be paying off your bachelor’s degree (not to mention medical school) well into your professional life. </p>
