Looking for colleges with good pre med and music areas, plus good running culture, Midwest or south [OH resident, 4.0 GPA, 35 ACT, uncertain budget]

[thumper1]

Some of the colleges on your list either give no or very highly competitive merit aid. Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame. So…a lot of merit at these schools is unlikely.

For excellent merit, look at University of Alabama, University of Mississippi, University of Louisiana, Kentucky, West Virginia. All would be options.

I don’t know their music offerings.
