<p>^I cannot type at all…after spending 8 hrs every day for the past 3+ decades. I guess, I do not have it in my fingers. I never see my spelling errors either. Too late for both skills to improve, it will never happen.</p>
<p>Thanks so much everyone for your suggestions! I’m looking into them right now. Hopefully this will help other high school students as well.</p>
<p>Miami of Ohio announced significant guaranteed merit scholarship awards for applicants with no special or additional application required other than the one submitted for admission as long as submitted prior to December 1.</p>
<p>The guaranteed awards are half to full tuition depending on your credentials, irrespective of in-state or out-of-state status. Check their website under admissions/parents/merit scholarships.</p>
<p>It is a wonderful school consistently ranked tops for undergraduate teaching and attention to the undergraduate educational experience. It may or may not be the right place for everyone, but definitely worth investigating!</p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
<p>Need based aid at safeties is hard to find.</p>
<p>however, if the student is looking for large merit, that is easier to find.</p>
<p>The large endowment in terms of students is unnecessary since many publics don’t have huge endowments, yet can be very good financial safeties with huge merit awards for high stats.</p>
<p>I’d add 'Bama to the list, although I’m not sure how it stacks up to your criteria since I don’t attend school there. It’s a good safety school that is generous with scholarships.

<p>"It is a wonderful school consistently ranked tops for undergraduate teaching "
-Yep, number 3 currently. No lectures by TA’s, all by profs…huge opportunities for research internships while in UG.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many of each of those UA scholarships are given out? Just curious if that’s like literally just 5 OOS people given scholarships or if we’re talking about larger scale OOS recruitment via these scholarships. Surprisingly (or not surprisingly if the number is small) that was not one of the FAQs on their website.</p>

<p>lol</p>
<p>bama awards those big Presidential (full tuition) scholarships to EVERY student who has the needed stats (ACT 32+ 3.5+ GPA)…apply by Dec 15. Bama’s scholarships are assured for stats and deadline. </p>
<p>Each fall over 300 students enroll with THAT full tuition scholarship. That number is for who ENROLLED. The actual awarded is even higher since some go elsewhere.</p>
<p>Bama also awards its even bigger NMF and NA scholarship to EVERY qualified student. In past years, about 250-300 frosh get it every year. </p>
<p>Bama and the Col of Eng award full tuition (UA Scholar plus Eng’g supplemental) plus 2500/yr to every student who has an ACT 30-31. Don’t know how many students that is…but I’m guessing about 50-100 accept those two combo awards. </p>
<p>So, between the Presidential, NMF, and UA Scholar plus CoE Supplemental scholarships, there are probably 500-650 frosh with at least full tuition scholarships. And, another 100 or so have 2/3 tuition scholarships.</p>
<p>Is the OP a NMSF? </p>
<p>Either way, Bama would be a good premed safety for a couple of reasons. </p>
<p>1) Inexpensive</p>
<p>2) Good premed advising. Does write Committee Letters</p>
<p>3) Even tho OOS, Alabama’s two public SOMs will give preference to OOS students who attend Alabama univs. And South will give merit scholarships to those OOS strong students to cover the OOS portion of med school.</p>
<p>^Miami has also good premed advising, write Committee Letters and prepare the entire package very early.
There are 7 Med. Schools in OH (well, at least one of them is not available to everybody, combined bs/md). However, Miami is very expensive for OOS. Med. Schools in OH are also expensive for both OOS and IS.</p>
<p>UAB in birmingham al… home of the med school, top tier research university, top 30 med school with many programs in top 10. automatic merit… if nmf full ride including 4 years of housing. son has been doing research there since freshman year.</p>
