<p>Top schools aren’t great sources for big merit because all of their students have high stats. You can apply to a few and hope that you’ll win one, but also apply to some schools that will give you assured full tuition scholarships for your stats.</p>
<p>Do you have any hooks? URM? from a state that doesn’t send many students to top schools? </p>
<p>As a bio major, will you be premed?</p>
<p>What was your PSAT score? </p>
<p>If you get a free tuition scholarship, will your parents pay the other $15k for room, board, books, fees, etc?</p>
