<p>I don’t know much about Baylor or Rice but I can tell about UT.</p>

<p>Honors programs with acceptance to medical school close to 100%</p>

<p>Honors have special scholarships, and CNS has a lot of special scholarships both for freshmen and continuing students. I have never seen any low income student in Honors program who was not full ride or close to full ride (no loans).</p>

<p>The university scholarships can also be very generous. Low income students in general are at risk of dropping out due to financial circumstances so UT has special programs to prevent it.
For example, PAS is raised to $ 60,000 [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.texasscholarships.org/types/osfs/pas.html]Texas”&gt;http://www.texasscholarships.org/types/osfs/pas.html]Texas</a> Scholarships: President’s Achievement Scholarship](<a href=“http://www.cns.utexas.edu/honors/honors-programs-center/deans-scholars]Dean’s”>Dean’s Scholars | College of Natural Sciences)
All students are automatically screened for this scholarship.
There are also other scholarships, awards and financial opportunities. </p>

<p>Plus, of course, Pell grant, Texas grant, Top 10% scholarship (it’s state aid, not university), various institutional grants, SEOG etc</p>

<p>As a matter of fact coverage is sometimes better than in Harvard and other full need met institutions (but not many people know about it)</p>

<p>I cannot guarantee that you will get something exceptional, of course, because you don’t have your test scores and your parents’ income.</p>
