Meanwhile, these kids all seem to prefer going to FL state schools on bright futures scholarships and then going to med schools.
USF has a BS/MD program and offers a full ride to NMF OOS for the BS portion.

Are you sure about that? The full ride offered to NMF at Florida public schools through bright futures was taken away away couple years ago and only available for in-state.
For OOS it’s not tied to Bright Futures
