Chance a HS Senior for some T20's and BSMD

So - this is a concern - $60-70K will not work at most on your list if you are full pay. Hence people said run the net price calculator.

Schools on your list are either need aid only or a few offer merit aid, but brutally hard to get. So in that sense, your list may need to change. Applying for aid and receiving it - two different things - so get that under control.

If you have a budget due to parental finances - i.e. they’re going to be stretched, and if you are serious about medical school and it’s hard to really know where you’ll be in four years right now - then this statement is a huge problem. I’ll cross the bridge for medical school costs when I get there (lol)

When people don’t plan, people end up needing to alter plans.

There’s many a fine college out there with huge merit - but likely public and larger - but where you can go for cheap - and many will have fine honors colleges, living learning communities and even peer groups like the Mccullough Medical Scholars at Alabama.

So first run some NPCs - because some of these schools are $85K a year and if you are full pay - that’s where you are.

There’s fantastic smaller private schools that can get you comfortably under your # if you learn you are full pay.

And if med school is truly a possibility for you, then your family needs to plan for it now - not - I’ll worry about it later, etc.

Good luck.
