I want to become some kind of doctor, so I was thinking of going to a normal college, get a bachelor in biochemistry and go to a medical school. The thing is that my family can’t pay much, or rather none. So I was thinking of getting a ROTC scholarship, preferably full 4 year NROTC scholarship, then going to a medical school with HPSP.

So I have some questions. I am an US Citizen, but I don’t live in the US right now, but I’d like to attend college in the US, preferably in California somewhere. How would I apply to ROTC scholarship from overseas? I could come to US during summer, to get an interview or something. But I’m quite confused in the process of the application. What should I do? is basically what I want to ask…

How many people get full 4 year NROTC scholarship every year, in let’s say University of San Diego or something? What should me SAT score be? What’s the interview like?

And… if I want to become a doctor, can I go to a Medical school directly after undergraduate college and serve the duty after I get the MD? To get HPSP, do I have to get in to a medical school directly? Is that hard to do? I heard of ‘early decision’ for medical schools, what’s that? …

I am so sorry to bombard with questions after questions, but I’m so confused. Please Help Me.
