<p>You may want to check out Clemson. It has a great nursing program and animal and veterinary sciences major. COA for OOS is around 40k. OOS students who rank in top 10% of HS class and have at least 1250 (CR + M) or 28 ACT receive at least 7500 annual merit. OOS students with test scores above those levels are considered for merit up to 15k annually. There are other merit opportunities in addition to these. So this could easily land you in the 30k ballpark. </p>
