Being low income, be sure to apply to your better SUNYs. With TAP grants, Pell grants, and other aid, you’ll be better covered. Your SAT is lowish for other schools that might give you enough aid, since I’m guessing that your family can’t contribute much or anything. What are they saying?

If you really want to become a doctor and it’s not just some romantic fancy, then go to a good SUNY, perhaps one that would give merit as well as the mentioned grants. I think Buffalo gives merit and maybe some others do too. @sybbie719 do you know which SUNYs would give merit for the OPs stats?

Preparing for med school means getting a top GPA and a strong MCAT, as well as participating in medically related ECs, shadowing and research.

As a low income student, I wouldn’t target schools that are too far away. Funding rarely includes much or anything that covers distance transportation costs and that’s often a huge hurdle for low income students and families.
