CC student: Aid questions

[Zarathustra22]

<p>I'm feeling a little bit lost after reading all of the sticky topics here and also after talking to my counselors. I'm not sure they should be called counselors; a better title would be the "I hate my job and don't give a damns". Anyway, I'm a community college student in Iowa with a 3.3 GPA. I'm currently pursuing a PharmD degree or at least doing the required two years prior to a four year program. I haven't taken any standardized tests because I am ridiculously terrible at math. I've been working part-time retail for minimum wage for 3 years and living with my father. He makes roughly 75k per year, however after this semester of CC he will no longer be paying. My mom lives in a different city and is very broke because her new husband has cancer. With my grades and my lack of standardized test scores is there any chance that I can get some kind of financial aid. I'm really stressing about taking out high interest private loans next semester.</p>
