<p>here is my final college list:</p>
<p>Dartmouth (Less than 12K)
Brown (No PLME)
Northwestern (Fin-aid Pending)
WUSTL (Full-ride)
JHU (No Financial Aid)
Emory
Notre Dame
Vanderbilt
UC Berkeley
UCLA (about 20K)</p>
<p>My intended major is Biology or Economics. I am a pre-med student but I may change my mind to go to business or Law school. I still want to have an amazing pre-med program at college.</p>
<p>Full financial aid for four years at WUSL? </p>
<p>I am being serious…</p>
<p>Use your brain. </p>
<p>4 years from now: $200K in debt? $0 in debt? </p>
<p>I know I am sounding hard on you, but REALLY, this one is a no-brainer.</p>
<p>No, I think it is free for 1 year. Also, I totally understand what you mean. 
Yes, Money does matter. However, the quality of my life is invaluable.</p>
<p>WashU.
10char.</p>
<p>that should be obvious.</p>
<p>Unless your family is well off or has your college tuition saved, then definitely choose WashU.</p>
<p>Your life will be great at WUSTL, dont worry.</p>
<p>If the scholarship is only good for one year, then how are you going to pay upwards of $50K per year the following 3+ years? And at what interest rate?
Will the UCLA $20K pay all that all four years?<br>
If so, go to UCLA. At least you will be able to get a job or work-study and pay off the rest of the bills. </p>
<p>In this economic climate, it is just common sense to get out of undergraduate school as debt-free as possible. I would re-examine your choices.</p>
<p>If you think that going to the highest ranking school in whatever will guarantee you a job, you may end up as disheartened as the Harvard Law School grads who still cannot find work this year after graduation. And just for fun, look at the number of layoffs on a weekly basis of high paying lawyers (JDJournal.com) go to “Layoffs” at the top. Just to give you an idea that it DOES affect everyone… even those who went to “prestigious” institutions.</p>
<p>You said, “My intended major is Biology or Economics. I am a pre-med student but I may change my mind to go to business or Law school. I still want to have an amazing pre-med program at college.” </p>
<p>I will tell you that there is no preferred major for medical school. While any undergraduate major is acceptable, the pre-medical requirements (chemistry, physics, general biology, and sometimes calculus) must be fulfilled. The most important criteria for admission to medical school are preparatory course work and a high GPA.</p>
<p>Obviously you will be able to get that at any of those colleges. </p>
<p>UCLA is you BEST choice unless a full-ride four year pops up somewhere. UCLA has 70 degree weather almost year around and is on a sprawling green campus in a safe area. Great sports, near LA, the beaches and close to the mountains… What more could a young person want for four years of the best years of your life? </p>
<p>I think I answered your question.</p>
<p>^^ vouch, UCLA is awesome</p>
