Hey everybody!
Here's the story. I used to be a HYPSM fanatic, until I realized that medical school costs a LOT.
Now, I'm trying to be practical and am targeting prestigious universities that offer full rides or full tuitions (which is just as competitive as the Ivy's ). The most important factor I'm looking for is prestige and national accreditation. Honestly, this is the one thing that matters to me. I realize that "fit" is important, but I don't mind the weather or campus type. The only things that I need for "fit" are a huge library (Preferably 24/7) and a preferably large campus (I dislike small schools).
I've seen lists of full-ride scholarships posted all over CC (http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/1461983-competitive-full-tuition-full-ride-scholarships.html). The thing is, a lot of these colleges are not as nationally recognized, and I'm looking to get into a prestigious medical school in the future, which at least requires a decent undergrad.
Would anybody be able to help me find and pick out the most prestigious/nationally recognized full-tuition/full-ride scholarships out of these lists? I need to make sure that they are feasible for me to apply to, so I'll post some of my stats.
Some of the ones I've looked at and liked (in order of prestige IMO):
Emory University Woodruff Scholars and Callaway Scholars (FR)
University of North Carolina Morehead-Cain, Robertson, and Pogue Scholarships (All are FR)
University of Virginia Jefferson Scholars (FR)
Davidson "Belk Scholarships" (FR)
University of Maryland Banneker Scholarships (FR)
Georgia Tech President's Scholarship (FR)
Duchossois Leadership Scholars at Illinois Tech (FR)
University Of Georgia Foundation Fellowships (FR)
Vanderbilt Cornelius Scholars, Chancellor's Scholars, and Ingram Scholars (Full Tuition only)
UKentucky Otis A. Singletary Scholarship (FR + Ipad) EEEK, I have no idea how prestigious this is
McDermott Scholars at the University of Texas at Dallas (FR)- I don't think this is very prestigious, but I'm in the Dallas/Richardson area so it would cut down on travel costs to home. And it looks pretty nice too
Southern Methodist University President's Scholars (FR)- Again, I don't think this is super prestigious, but I'm from TX.
