Seconding UMBC, a really good STEM university with some specific scholarships.
And of course you can try for Banneker Key.
Having the highest PSAT score in October, then the highest possible SAT score Spring 2026 will greatly help you. Keep working hard in school and see if you can get a part time job - even a few hours a week, saving your wages.
Are you part of a group that’s under represented in college or in medicine?
Would you be interested in other health professions than doctor - PA, nurse.. for instance? Why/why not?
You could get a merit scholarship at a 4-year college - UMDCP, UMBC, Morgan State, Towson, Salisbury, Bowie State, etc. As well as American, CUA (if religious schools acceptable), Trinity Washington, Goucher..
Which of these colleges are accessible in 30mn or less by car or 45mn by train/metro?
Free tuition would suffice at commutable campuses (especially if commutable by train/metro) but the much harder to get full rides would be necessary for any college further than 30mn away by car/~45 by train. Indeed, premeds have so many obligations beside going to class - labs, study groups, volunteering, etc. - that not living on campus is a disadvantage and living far away further reduces the odds of having a med school worthy application. It can be done but it adds difficulty to an already very difficult process.
