Need help making a plan- What to do if my parents cannot afford the EFC?

Do not go to a CC. You’ll ruin your future merit chances.

Your app list is just a prestigious list. It’s not practical for someone with an unaffordable EFC…NOR is it practical for someone who will be premed.

Going to a tippy top school is not advisable for many/most premeds. A premed who truly wants to become a doctor should choose a school where he/she can be a standout…not a school where he/she may likely get weeded out.

Again, about four thousand of your parents’ contribution will be eaten up with health insurance and int’l travel costs.

You need HUGE merit…more than free tuition. Hear that? MORE than free tuition.

You’ve missed many important deadlines, so unless you go to somewhere like UAB, Miss State, UAH, or similar AND they offer you more than free tuition, you’re going to have to take a gap year.
