Are you a green card resident?

If you’re still considered an int’l, then you could have additional problems getting aid.

Until you have some ACT scores (take the SAT, too), no one can really advise you.

Since money is a problem, you need to set aside rankings and have a strategy to get college paid for.

If your stats are high enough, then your strategy will be to apply to elite schools that meet need without big loans AND to apply to some lower tier schools that will give you huge merit for your stats. Since you’ll be pre-med, you’re only concern needs to be going to a school that has good math and science classes, a strong MCAT score, and strong GPA for med school.

However, if you’re an int’l, things will be even more difficult.
