<p>Hi. Im a new member. Im a Vietnamese. I spent my last year study in the US and I was a junior. Im going to be a senior this September at the school last year. I have been studying SAT since the beginning of July. My SAT score now is about 1800. I want to be a doctor so I will try to apply to pre-med school. But my family can not afford too much money. Because I have a sister and a brother. Therefore, Im trying to get a high scholarship. Actually, I just started my searching for university. I dont know a lot of requirements to apply. So what is my chance to get a good scholarship in a pre-med school. I dont require a really top school but not a bad school. Thanks!!!!! </p>

First, there is no “pre-med university”. You apply to any university as an undergraduate student. You can major in any area you are interested in but you need to take the required courses to apply to Medical School, see link:
<a href=“Medical School Requirements - StudentDoc”>http://www.studentdoc.com/medical-school-requirements.html</a></p>
<p>You want to get the best possible GPA and have some internships or volunteer experience that is Medical related.
Once you have met the course requirements, you want to take MCAT exam and then you can apply for Medical School.<br>
Will you be applying as an international?? If so and you need to financial aid, you need to look for schools that are “need blind” for international students which are not many and most are highly competitive. <a href=“Schools Awarding International Financial Aid”>http://www.internationalstudent.com/schools_awarding_aid/</a></p>
<p>For your chances on a scholarship or financial aid, you need to know your unweighted and weighted GPA and list your extra cirricular activities and awards. With your current SAT, there is very little chance you will be eligible for a scholarship. Keep doing research on schools you are interested in applying and check out the Pre-med topics forum on this website for more information.</p>

<p>Thank u for ur helpful advices.
Yes I will apply to pre-med school for 4 years. Because I want to be a pediatrican. My SAT is about 1800 and I still practice to improve it above 2000. I am going to take the SAT test this October. My GPA last year was 3.96. But I dont have a loy of extra-cirricular. How about blood dominate? Is it gonna helpful? Oh and what is MCAT exam? Do I have to take it in order to go to pre-med shool. I want to get a good scholarship. And actually, I dont know many pre-med schools. Im looking for pre-med schools which are at least in top 100 and have scholarship for international student.
Looking forward to seeing ur email. Thank a lot

<p>Blood Dominate?? I assume you mean blood donation and no that will not be helpful. If you volunteer at a Blood Donor center then that would be considered an EC.<br>
Regarding the MCAT, that is the test you take after you complete your 4 year undergraduate major to be able to apply to Medical School.<br>
Again, there is no such thing as a Pre-med school. You are looking for a university that gives Financial aid to Internationals.
A small handful of colleges are “need blind” for international applicants (meaning that they do not consider financial need when making admission decisions but will then provide aid to those who require it). Here is a list of some “need blind” schools. Unfortunately for you, they are also very competitive and you would need an SAT of 2200+ to have a chance at acceptance.</p>
<p>1) Amherst College </p>
<p>2) Dartmouth College</p>
<p>3) Harvard University </p>
<p>4) Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) </p>
<p>5) Princeton University </p>
<p>6) Yale University </p>
<p>How much would you be able to pay towards your education?? There are many more schools that you could apply if you are able to pay some portion of your college expenses. Here is a website that you can search by state for schools that will give you financial aid or scholarships:
