Have you talked to your parents about how much your family is willing and able to pay? Now is the time to get these numbers on the table. Then do sit with a parent and run the Net Price Calculators that are on the websites of each of the schools to get a good idea what these schools will be expecting your family to pay.
It looks like you have done some research, as you did pick a group of schools that do offer merit awards. Though, yes, it is possible for you to get merit money, it is difficult. Look at the data for each schools as to what % , how many get scholarships , and how much on average, per year. Also peruse the Financial Aid sections, college specific threads for these schools on this forum. There is a n excellent thread where a Dad and his daughter were chasing merit money this year for a top 1% student and the outcomes.
So, yes, it’s possible to get accepted at these schools, and you are certainly in the running for acceptance. You also have chances of getting merit money from them. However, the chances are slim for sizeable awards at any of them and very small for anything at some of them. UNC? JHU? Just getting accepted are challenges.
If these are the schools that interest you the most, absolutely go for them and their awards. However, start looking at schools in the price ranges that are affordable to your family. You may not care to go to an instate public university , but if medical school is in your plans, that may be the best way to go. It l’s getting more and more difficult to pay off sizeable loans for Med school, it seems to me, especially when one has sizeable undergraduate loans on top of them.
Med school are not going to much care about where you go to college and you have some tough premed schools on your list. A “B” at Hopkins does not an “A” at IUPUI make and that directional state school has provided top of the line medical opportunities for students at that campus. Fine hospitals right there on campus. I’m quite familiar with that school.
Do remember that it’s easy to just list those schools with great name recognition for ones list. The true work in college apps come in finding schools less well known, more certain to accept you, that are affordable and/or are great admissions deals. THAT takes a lot of work and too often, with students of your caliber, some attitude and outlook adjustment. You’ve made a great start in finding selective schools that have merit money. Now look for the more hidden obscure ones that can give you an excellent premed education and a boost towards Med school admissions that have higher likelihoods of giving you merit money.
