Up until recently, I have been very narrow-minded when it came to college (ex. only had 2 choices). Now, I am interested in learning more about schools and finding a “Fit” more than just going for prestige. </p>

<p>I have decided I want a more liberal arts, small class, type college, and not a huge research school. I also want to be premed, so I think a school with an undergraduate focus is important. I have been accepted to two schools so far (Wayne State Honors College and Alma College) and have great aid packages from both. Everyone I ask, however, says I should aim higher? Would it be settling too much to attend these colleges?</p>

<p>I’m an African-American from Detroit, with a 31 ACT, 3.87 GPA (Rank 5/92), and good participation in extra-curricular?

<p>Congrats on your success! Also, you should look at the College of Wooster in Ohio. They offer a pre-health program that includes medicine. Wooster offers tons of research opportunities and they are known for the Independent Study Program. I would imagine with those stats you will get a nice FA offer. </p>

<p>Finally, to answer your question, Yes!!! With a 31 ACT most of the top LAC’s in the country would not only want you, but will give you lots of money to walk their halls. Obviously you would have to apply, but if your course rigor matches your scores you will have a lot of options.</p>
