Denison is a great school, and very underrated. Trinity and Bucknell are also viewed highly. What sort of aid would you receive from Denison and Trinity? I agree with gadad, I don’t think Bucknell is worth 30,000/yr, when your other choices are Auburn and OU. Plus, if you really want to go to med school, I’d take the free undergrad and save money for med school.

I’m assuming you’d be in the honors colleges at Auburn and OU too. I don’t know anything about their honors colleges, but I would look at them to see what they can offer. If they are really good honors colleges, they’d have (a combination of) separate housing, smaller discussion-based classes available, early registration, research funding, and an honors thesis option. That would help make a large university feel smaller, like Trinity or Bucknell, and would offer you the best of both worlds.
