Any schools we can add to son's list? [KY resident, 4.0 GPA, 35 ACT, likely NMF, Pre-med, Mid-to-large school, <$22K]

Congrats to your son on his strong profile!

As he is quite likely to be a National Merit Finalist, I would definitely check out this link.

Below are some schools that I think are highly likely to hit the budget (with more details/rationale in this post):

  • Mississippi State: Probably around $9k first year and $17k/year subsequently

  • U. of Kansas: Probably around $21k

  • U. of New Mexico: Probably around $15k

  • New Mexico State: About $3k first and $7k/year subsequently

  • Oklahoma State: Nearly a full ride

  • U. of Houston: About $11k

  • U. of Idaho: Full ride

  • U. of Nebraska - Lincoln: About $14k

  • U. of Oklahoma: About $9k first year and then about $15k

Also, I believe Washington State gives free tuition to NMF students.

This post also shared some schools where he could try and get some big scholarships (full tuition or full rides):

  • U. of Miami
  • Villanova
  • Wake Forest
  • Tulane
  • Boston U.
  • Duke
  • U. of Notre Dame
