Based on your stats and economic issues I would like to suggest you look at mid- range LAC’s. Many offer a lot more merit money than what tuition can cost at a large state universities- even with an in state boost. There are many scattered across the country. I agree that the NESAC schools like Colby, bowdoin etc are too high a reach for you but there are many others that would work. Look at Clark (MA), Trinity (CT), Furman, St Olaf (MN) Lawrence (WI) to name a few. If you are serious about med school look at Rhodes in TN - has one of the highest admit rates for its graduates who want med school. There is a good thread here for schools that offer good merit. Definitely worth checking out.
