<p>This link has the info for 2012 Wells Scholars. There are potentially 10 pre-meds as I can see it. It was a competitive years for science students. In this case, one would have to win top state awards in academic/music/athletic competition in order to have a good chance. Last year, the #2 student in our local HS with 800 students did not even get the alternative spot in the science/premed category. But, you should get $6K scholarship from Hudson & Holland +$9K automatic which is almost 3/4 full ride for ISS. </p>
<p>Getting a near full ride merit award from schools on your list is more difficult than winning the Wells scholarship. You will need to strengthen your SAT.</p>
