<p>I would HIGHLY recommend you consider the University of Miami! I wanted to go the Vanderbilt, Davidson, or Rice, but none of them offered me enough money. However, I got almost full tuition at Miami (all merit!) plus membership into their Foote Fellows program, where you get extra advising, higher preference for courses and housing, and all general education requirements waived. There are no extra scholarship applications, they just use your common app to consider you for merit aid. I was invited to the Singer Scholarship weekend just based on my common app alone. It’s definitely worth applying to, especially since there are no supplement or scholarship essays :)</p>
