<p>I think IBObsessed is best off applying to (a) highly selective colleges with excellent financial aid and (b) colleges where his/her stats place him/her well above the 75th percentile, making merit aid a strong possibility. </p>
<p>IBObsessed, here’s a list of loan-free colleges. Several liberal arts colleges, such as Amherst, Conn College, Davidson, and Lafayette, would be loan-free for you. Since you plan on attending medical school, keeping debt down is a must. </p>
