<p>Yeah, I’m in the same boat as you there - my parents’ income disqualifies me from any signicant finaid, but I can’t imagine attending my state U (Ohio State). Getting into top public schools OOS can be unpredictable, though, so I’d hesitate to call UF a safety.</p>
<p>Georgetown is not known for its science programs whatsoever. It’s basically a political powerhouse - probably because of its prime location in DC (same goes for American U and GWU to an extent, but GWU has a respectable combined med program, if that suits you). Go there if you’re looking into political science, international relations, foreign language, areas like that. Gtown for pre-med is like MIT for poly sci - it can be done, but the school isn’t known for it, you know what I mean?</p>
