Maybe University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)? When I visited, they seemed to give out substantial merit aid through their honors college, although a full ride or a full tuition scholarship would be very tough for anyone to get.
How about University of Minnesota? Located in Minneapolis. Cost of attendance for OOS is about $40,000 a year…which isn’t all that bad for OOS. I don’t know about aid potential for you.
Minneapolis has a lot of large business headquarters…and is a hub for young people in the upper Midwest.
@helppleasepharm UIC doesn’t give out substantial merit, at least to instate. They do give some through honors college but not a substantial amount? They’re limited, some may even partly need based
^ UIC is a commuter university with very little merit money in a state with so many financial struggles it almost didn’t pay it’s resident students the scholarships they were awarded.
@rinneteresting
It sounds like a full tuition scholarship would be ok (ie., Your parents have to pay for room and board plus books).
What’s your EFC? Or your parents’ income?
Where you should apply will depend on your test scores and your parents’ income.
Pitt if you can get a 35-36 on the act. 32-33 will likely get you full tuition at Temple and Montana State. 33-34 gets you a lot of money at U Minnesota twin cities, Indiana Bloomington, and tOSU. It makes you competitive for admission with merit at Northeastern. Same thing at Ohio University and Miami Ohio.
Your 32 will likely yield merit but you’d need additional need based aid (income based ie if your family makes 150k or less) at the CTCL colleges. (.org website). Whitman, stOlaf, Reed, Wheaton MA, Beloit, Lawrence, Earlham, are all good. The list you got in #12 is quite good.
If you try to move out of state not quite in the North you can try Honors College at UKentucky which is revamping its program, ASU Barrett. UNC Asheville and Appalachian State will have snow.
To clarify, to get free tuition, not a free ride, to University of Pittsburg, you usually have to apply early, be the top 2% of your class as well. And it is not guaranteed
Really, your goal should be to find something Low cost, no loans.
A school that Med schools of heard of and where you get the best grades and likely there are enough other Premeds that there is an adequate Premed advising group and Premed honor societies…like AED…Alpha epsilon Delta
Not sure this matters so much as long as it’s not one of the for profit colleges OR a college in another country. Medical school admissions folks don’t need to have first hand knowledge of your college…but it can’t be some fly by night place.
