My daughter is an incoming senior and is interested in a mid sized to large school and wants to study biology. She thinks she might be interested in vet. science, or nursing, or physical therapy but really doesn't know yet. She lives in the Midwest, has taken the ACT twice and has a composite score of 29 with a superscore of 31. She has an UW GPA of 3.9 and weighted GPA of 4.5. All core academic classes have been honors or AP. She will have 6 AP classes by the end of high school. She is in 2 varsity sports, in the school orchestra, and has outside of school involvement in a charity that is very important to her. We have only visited 4 schools so far and she has liked both the big state universities and midsized private urban universities. She did not like the small LAC in a small rural town.
I know that her stats are pretty good and think she has a good chance to get into a variety of colleges, but also am very aware of costs and am hoping to direct her to schools that might also give her money to help bring the cost down to a more manageable level. Any ideas of good options that she would qualify for some merit money (we probably wont qualify for much, if any financial aid, but truly cant afford to pay what the EFC is working out to be. She is happy to consider colleges that are geographically distant. Thanks for any input.
