| Which top Schools provide the most national merit scholarship?. Have chosen USC (Southern Cal) since they are good for Bio and provide 20K merit scholarship. Is this the best to choose? |

| Merit scholarships are moving to the wayside along with EBT and subsidized housing. If you can’t afford college they should get a job for several years and save up. Or enroll in community college. |

$20K off of $96K still leaves you $76K a year out of pocket. There are a lot of schools with good bio departments that are a lot cheaper than that. |

EA for mine. Think 30k/year. Humanities though |

Is this the only school they're applying to, e.g. for early decision? If not, you don't need to identify one best school. |

| What is your state flagship? A lot of amazing bio research occurs at state universities, including UNC, UMass Amherst, Cal, UCLA, UCSD, etc. and it will be cheaper than paying $75k to USC, which is known for business and acting (and not STEM). |
