UMiami vs. Vanderbilt (full rides both)

<p>Thanks for the info! I definitely plan on applying to UM. Do you know if the full-ish ride scholarships to Miami are super competitive? I’ve been trying to read up on the scholarship opportunities but I haven’t been able to find much. I know that Florida residents probably have more opportunities for scholarships but I think I have set myself up so that I’m at the top(ish) of the applicant pool (hopefully!) (35 ACT, 1530 SAT, 4.45 GPA, lots of leadership, etc.). Also, my dad has been pressuring me into going to a Texas university for college because the in-state tuition for Texas medical schools is the cheapest in the country, and he said that I need to avoid large amounts of student debt at all costs. Have you heard anything more on that?</p>
