Also, for pre-med, am I better off attending a FL state university like USF (where I have FL Prepaid - 4 year tuition/4 year dorms, will get Bright Futures, and I have been offer 4k a year as an admissions scholarship) where the total cost of “Tuition & Fees” is $6,400 (which most of is going to be covered due to FL Prepaid), and “Room/Meals” is about $9,500 (which, again, most of is covered due to FL prepaid, Meals is not covered under that). The estimated direct cost for the 2016-2017 year is about $15,810. This will most likely be reduced greatly after factoring in the prepaid (I am grandfathered in most fees due to when the plan was purchased). I am estimating the tuition and fees to be reduced to about $2,000-3,000 and the 4 year room and meals to be reduced at least by half with my plan (possibly even 75%). Taking all of this into account. I would have about $7,000 to $8,000 per year due to bright futures and the admissions scholarship. After all of this, I will be graduating debt free because I would only have to pay probably a few thousand at the most to attend (but I could end up being paid to attend, it depends on how much the prepaid covers).
After all of that math, my question is: should I even worry about applying to other schools or just take the debt free education that they are offering me (since I want to go to med school and, unless I am going to an ivy, I am led to believe that undergrad does not matter all that much)?
Sorry, I know that was really long and wordy, but I wanted to get it all out. Thanks for taking the time to help!
