I've heard rumors about full merit scholarships at USC Keck, Miami Miller, JHU, Columbia, and Feinberg. Can anyone confirm any of these? Thanks.

I think Penn has the 21st century scholars program.

I think Pritzker...

I would say most MD schools have at least a few to give out nowadays

If you Google, you find a consultant site with list of scholarships.

Vandy has 70% (or 100% some years).
Penn has partial scholarships (based funds availability ) in addition to 21st Century
Chicago has few partial
UCSF has regents ($10k/yr)
UCSD has couple of full tuition

Yeah, some don’t call it merit but you can bargain with some schools if you have multiple As.

how do you bargain with a school? do you just say that you have another offer but you really want their school if they can give you some aid?

Yes, you can give the school name and amount you got or cost if it’s in-state. Worked for few (either matched or gave some) I know but not all schools have recruitment funds.

Pretty sure Keck USC only gives out quarter tuition scholarships as their highest award amount these days (I knew this to be true starting in 2021, but things could have changed)

NYU (obviously), Harvard, UPenn, Columbia, Cleveland Clinic are some that come to mind
