If you don’t mind Texas then look up Baylor University. Their pre-med track is solid and supportive. They offer generous merit and need based scholarships. They have connections with network of Baylor schools of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Sports Medicine and Baylor hospitals.

Texas has several good medical schools and after doing undergraduate from Texas, she’ll be available for in-state tuition. Its easier to find residency in area of your interest, compared to NY and CA. Overall, Baylor has a relaxed environment yet high rate of medical school admissions.

Rice is another good option, more competitive but very collaborative and nerdy environment. However, being an elite 20 college, they are as selective as ivies and merit scholarships are rare. They do have generous financial aid. There is no greek system so less distractions yet all the advantages of a close knit community through Yale style residential college system. They have distinguished teaching hospitals and prestigious Baylor medical school next doors so lots of research and internship opportunities.
