<p>In-state is your best bet to lower tuition. Div. I sports take tons of time, think twice about doing it. If you are planning to go pre-med and maybe get some academic scholarhips for returning students in a future, you will need to keep your GPA in college as close as possible to perfect. In addition, you will need to spend some time volunteering/researching in connection to med. field if you are planning to apply to med. school eventually. As far as Academic Scholarships for incoming freshmen, you probably need to get your stats a bit higher. Competitiion is getting tougher from year to year. The best of luck!</p>
