If you are a merit finalist, you should consider the University of Florida Honors program, especially if you're pre-med.For reasons I can't fully understand, they are obsessed with have the most merits in the Country(they are currently No.2). UFisranked about with BU, and they offer close to a full ride to merit finalists.Honors students have their own new dorm, where you live like a human being. Honors classes are 15-20 and are taught by tenured staff. classes are innovative and seminar style and system is fixed so the honors students pull most of the A's. Example--Freshman calc at UF is a class of 500. Thehonors program will be a class of 20, but they take the same final as general prgram and are in the general class curve. Also, if you go into the 7 year med school program they pay for the first year of med school. They also give extra money for ind. research or study abroad.
