<p>are you an international student? is that why you mention ireland?</p>
<p>if here in usa (which it sounds like with your mention of gpa, aps, ) then there really isnt something called a premed program. You go to whatever college you want, major in whatever you want but make sure you take the required courses for med school</p>
<p>in order to give you an idea of colleges, would need to know what areas you would consider, what your actual act/sat scores are to see if you would qualify for merit aid
financial aid is not an area i am that familiar with, but you may qualify for need aid?</p>
<p>there are a lot of schools that have apps that dont require essays, and most schools dont require interviews unless you are applying for a selective program.</p>
<p>You want to look for the most affordable option available to you if you are considering med school as those costs are extremely high.</p>
<p>if you want to pm me with those details rather than post feel free</p>
