I applied to my top 3 colleges and got into all three, but now that I actually have to pick one i’m not sure which one to look at. My colleges are VCU. GMU, and CNU. I want to go into pre-med and can afford all three, but is there a chance vcu or cnu might give me some scholarship money? I have a 3.9469 GPA and 1710 SAT with several AP’s and leadership positions. My parents don’t know much about college and where I should go, so I was hoping someone here may be able to give me some facts on these colleges… Thanks in advance to those who reply 
Wait until March to find out what each one will cost.
You can also do a visit and sit in on an actual class. That might help you decide.
For CNU - did you apply to Honors or the Presidents Leadership Program (PLP)? Those come with automatic scholarships. If you didn’t apply to those, you probably won’t get scholarship money directly from CNU. There are two scholarship programs for pre-med. See info http://cnu.edu/premed/psp/
@vamominvabeach I did apply to the PLP program, but I don’t know if I got in or not. I haven’t completed my interview yet either.
Then the answer is there is still a chance you could get money from CNU. I don’t think they send out answers on PLP until after regular decision in March. So take a few visits to your three when they have special events, etc. and make your decision in March/April.
You might also look at type and location. CNU is smaller and suburban, while VCU is large and very urban. GMU is large as well. It’s what you are most comfortable with.
Where are your friends going?
@ClarinetDad16 My friends are going to GMU, or CNU. Others are out of state. One is lingering between a community college and VCU.
I would think that VCU has the strongest pre-med program since it has a medical school.
Wait till you hear back about Honors College, PLP (or equivelent if offered elsewhere), and get your full financial aid package.
If you get into PLP, I’d strongly suggest it.
That doesn’t really have anything to do with it - most medical schools are completely uninvolved with the pre-medical curriculum at their undergraduate divisions. Pre-med curricula are focused on natural and physical life sciences classes and some English and math classes that you can find at pretty much any college, medical school or no.
