<p>I am currently a National Merit Semifinalist, and I need the money offered by the schools to the finalists to put me through undergrad. I'm going into Pre med, and if I am lucky enough to become a finalist <em>fingers crossed</em> I was wondering what the top pre med schools were offering full rides/tuition. </p>
<p>(For me, Top pre med = best chance of getting accepted to top med school). I was primarily looking at Baylor and Michigan State. How highly esteemed is MSU's pre med program? What other programs on the list are strong pre med schools?</p>
<p>You should be looking at schools that offer tuition+ or full-ride for NM Finalists. I’m not aware that MSU or Baylor offer those types of merit scholarships for NM Finalists. </p>
<p>Search this forum for threads about schools that offer such scholarships. </p>
<p>U Oklahoma and U Alabama are two such schools. Oklahoma has a medical school and many students who accept their NM scholarships have their sights set on this. The Honors college at OU has a medical humanities program in which many of the premed honors students participate.</p>
<p>Top pre-med =/= best chance to get into medical school. Both schools are fine, as would Ohio State, Florida. and any of the other full ride universities.</p>
