-Affordable (generous aid)
-Close enough to home (CO)
I’m planning to be a premed
My dream school is Pomona College but it only gives need-based aid and my family will qualify for little to none, so its not really an option because of cost.

You want aid but don’t qualify for FA so you’ll need to rely on merit. Look at these threads:

Do well on the PSAT so you can qualify for some NMF scholarships.
