College Selection - Murder or Mystery?

<p>*We wont qualify for any aid other than merit aid. The kid is hard working and has multiple APs, several hundreds of hours or volunteer service, before the end of Sophomore year, research papers are due to be presented in conferences in the spring of freshmen year. I guess SAT scores will be good [let us assume it will be good]. </p>

<p>I am assuming the kid can apply to most IVY/Top tier schools. Child’s interest is in combined/guaranteed medical program. *</p>

<p>I don’t know if I missed something, but can you further clarify…</p>

<p>Is the student an int’l…or does he have a green card/citizenship?</p>

<p>The ivies and many elites don’t give merit aid.</p>

<p>How much can you spend each year on college.</p>

<p>Yes…Bama gives big merit for stats…even to int’ls. :)</p>
