Paying for College

<p>I know its been awhile…but how early should I start applying?</p>

<p>Go in the archives and look up momfromtexas 's Full RIde Scholarship threads. She gives a methodology that will give you a great chance of getting a full or near full ride somewhere.</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>What, you don’t think reputation surveys, professor’s salaries, and alumini giving correlate with MCAT scores? ;-)</p>

<p>Of course they do - just as much as the phase of the moon correlates with the Cubs’ chances of winning the World Series.</p>

<p>University of Arkansas, Arkansas State U., University of Central Arkansas, Arkansas Tech, and Southern Arkansas U. all offer significant score and GPA-based scholarships for which you qualify. (You can get from from $8,000-$14,000 per year depending on the school–note that info. on school websites often states the award per SEMESTER.) Check websites, contact schools for other requirements (recommendation letters, etc.) and watch out for application deadlines.</p>

<p>Best school for pre-meds is where you can get the highest GPA.</p>

<p>I am more in agreement with Atomom and her last sentence than I once was. With the thorough grounding MCAT prep courses now can give, it is even less important where one goes to college in terms of getting into medical school. The grades truly take precedence. In my day, the prep for MCATs was not as available or thorough, so a case could be made that taking the premed courses at a school where you got a better grounding could make a difference. THough, it still could, you would t have to pick a school that was truly deficient in its science offerings, to be so disadvantaged. I know a number of students who went back to community college and local state schools for science courses in order to go to medical school. They then took a semester studying for the MCAT along with the prep courses for the test, and were able to gain admittance. That they took some of those basic courses at a CC was not a noticeable disadvantage.</p>

<p>Hi
My son got a FULL ride to Troy U in Troy Alabama that included OOS tution and room and board for 4 years.You have to have a 3.7 GPA and I belive a SAT above 1400.He is a music education major.He really enjoyed his 1st year and looking foward to the next. He had other choices because of his GPA and SAT but if you are going to be a high school band director that is where you go in the South.</p>

Isn’t that a tad off? Of the white applicants in 2009-2011 with a 3.4-3.59 GPA and 30-32 MCAT, close to 56% were admitted. Overall, 48% of all applicants were admitted.</p>

<p>Any more lesser-known schools that offer awesome scholarships for stats like mine?</p>

<p>Troy’s scholarship seemed awesome, even though that school seems pretty well-known. I’m just not really familiar with that area…</p>

<p>Full scholarships are rare. Most students stitch together a “patchwork quilt” of scholarships, work, loans and internships. Don’t feel that you have to have one big enchilada to get college done.</p>
