<p>ive looked through the other forums and just got an opinion of what schools give aid. i was wondering if anyone could tell me specifically where to btoher applying to</p>

<p>I have a 2120 on the sat (800 math, 630 cr, 690w)</p>

<p>3.84 gpa with 9/249 class rank
i have numerous math awards and pretty solid ec’s vlounteering and good essay writing skills. i have some swimming things but nothing that would get me recruited. I take classes at a certain prestigious university at maryland to get credits and save money since they pay for it for high school</p>

<p>I was wondering if there are any medium to large size schools anywhere that would give me a very sizeable scholarship as money is the #1 factor in deciding where to go. i want to major in engineering but go into pre-med. I live in maryland and have decided to apply to the public schools plus hopkins. anyone give me some suggestions</p>

<p>Are you talking about merit aid? Will your family qualify for need-based aid? Off the type of my head, merit-possible schools for engineering for your stats: Tulane (very highly ranked in biomed E and chem E, currently does not have any other Engineering majors), Vanderbilt, UMiami, Case Western, Santa Clara U. I believe these schools give either quite a few merit awards and/or quite sizable merit awards. Lehigh gives some (not as many?). Rice and McGill are cheaper than similarly ranked schools even if you don’t get merit $$. Hopkins gives a very few sizable awards.</p>

<p>I’m sure there are others; I just happen to know these.</p>
