<p>@OP, there are many TOP schools that offer what you are looking for.(both public and private) Chicago, Washington University at St Louis, Duke, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, William and Mary, Delaware, Maryland (my school), Rutgers, several SUNYs, and many more offer some type of merit full ride. Some even include extras like books and computers and/or a cash stipend. These are some of the best schools in the nation, but it’s tough to get, so the more apps the better.</p>
<p>Best of luck …</p>
