I’m a high school junior applying environmental science on a pre-med track. I have a $250k college fund and probably won’t receive any need-based financial aid anywhere. Due to the cost of med school, I’m trying to go to a cheap or relatively cheap school, but would still like to attend a “traditional” college rather than a commuter school.
Here are my stats:
4.3/5 Weighted GPA (4.12 Freshman and 4.4 Sophomore and Junior)
3.85/4 Unweighted (3.75 Freshman, 3.93 Sophomore, 3.72 Junior)
1460 SAT (760 Math, 700 Reading)
1500 PSAT (National Merit qualifying)
8 AP’s (AP Physics I and II, AP Chem, AP Calc, AP US History, AP Bio, AP Environmental Science, and AP Gov)
Class Rank (20/350?) (My school refuses to give out rank)
Captain of Science Bowl Team
NHS and National Science Honor Society
~900 volunteer hours working with/mentoring young kids (K-5)
Founded a recycling program at my school that improved recycling practices and collected ~4000 bottles ($200 worth) donating it to a local food bank. At that rate would have been about $1k by the end of the year if COVID didn’t happen and I was in the process of expanding the program into neighboring towns.
Track and Field all 4 years
At the moment I’m going to apply to UConn (in-state) and Baylor (Absolutely love the school), what are some similar schools that (with scholarships) won’t cost more than $30k a year? There is absolutely nothing my grades hate more than cold weather, I cannot focus at all when it’s cold out, so warmer weather schools would be appreciated.
