Chance me undergrad first-year premed (current junior) [TX, 3.86, top 15%, <$60k/year, bioengineering, neuroscience, or psychology]

Another option would be Southwestern University in Georgetown if you’ve heard of it. It’s a relatively small college ~1,500 undergrads. It’s a CTCL and offers pretty decent merit aid for GPAs/Class ranks. From a recent piece of mail I got, Southwestern’s Scholarship Plan offers 23-29k for first-year students, with your current rank.
Southwestern does decently with its pre-med to med school admission percentage, and a current student I know there says their campus is very welcoming.

Another option you could consider if you’re truly devoted to Pre-med is Austin College up in Sherman. Austin College has an early admissions partnership with Texas Tech Medical School where you don’t have to take the MCAT if you’re admitted. They’ve also got some good connections with several medical centers in the DFW area for internships.
