Which schools will likely waive OOS or give a substantial merit scholarship for our daughter?

Try Pittsburgh. Her ACT might be high enough to get enough merit for it to be affordable. You’d know relatively early. Admissions will let you know quickly. Merit aid not too long afterward. It’s very highly regarded for Pre-med, has a lot of research available, and there are multiple hospitals within walking distance for shadowing, volunteering, etc.

Around me many high stat students use it as their safety, but then choose it over other acceptances because they find they really like it there. This is limited to urban lovers though. If she’s looking for more rural, suburban, or campus with a “bubble” around it in a city, Pitt doesn’t work as well for “fit.”
