<p>If you want a big NMF scholarship, why didn’t you apply to Bama? ** It’s not too late, you can still get it <a href=“I%20sent%20you%20a%20PM”>/B</a>. Free tuition, free housing (including honors), study abroad money, $1k, and new iPad. </p>
<p>Much higher ranked school, honors college classes capped at 15 kids, better weather, and Bama writes Committee Letters for med school apps (that is a biggie). And, Bama has very good pre-med advising <a href=“http://premed.ua.edu/[/url]”>http://premed.ua.edu/</a></p>
<p>Houston isn’t even ranked. Bama is #75.</p>
<p>Another plus for Bama is that you’re from Calif. Of all the states, Calif is #8 for sending kids to Bama. Bama has a LOT of out of state kids…over 50% of the frosh are from OOS!! Houston only has 3% OOS kids! That is not good for an OOS student!!! That strongly suggests that the school is commuter/suitcase! Another negative for an OOS school.</p>
<p>At least get an app into Bama so you have that option. You’ll get the big NMF award if you apply NOW…no essays, no LORs…app takes like 5 minutes…it’s that easy.</p>
