Cheap schools for non-trad transfer student

Check out University of New Mexico. You would be eligible for their Amigo scholarship, which is an OOS tuition waiver. Tuition is around $7500, and full COA is around $22,000.

Albuquerque rent is pretty cheap. The only hitch with the transfer Amigo is that it’s 8 semesters (including summer), and then it expires. You’d have to graduate by then or get stuck paying OOS tuition (or get in-state residency).

Their med school has a number of top ten rankings, and is one of the least expensive in the country once you obtain residency.

If you get a job with the hospital (adjacent to campus) and work 50% time, there are significant tuition benefits.

UNM is still accepting applications, and last year they were still awarding Amigos around now, too. The app takes about 5 minutes to complete. You’d be auto-admit to both the school and the Honors college.
