@NaijaBoy - with those PSAT scores, it is likely you will be a National Achievement Scholar, and a lot of schools will give you a lot of merit aid for that. One of those kids that got accepted at all the Ivy’s (an African American student from Memphis) realized that they would be unaffordable, especially if he went on to medical school. SO what did he do? He took a TOTAL free ride at Alabama as a presidential scholar.
