If your D wants to attend med school, then she needs to REALLY focus on schools that will enable her to graduate with no debt and merit if possible.
Both sons took Staffords, worked on campus and over the summers, and one had a year’s worth of COA covered by scholarships. I somewhat regret not pushing the merit packages harder, but am thankful we could do what was needed. Best strategy for us was buying less house than we could afford. Having a small mortgage made college much easier.
