<p>Biotech is a more viable choice.
There are two types of international UG students: One returns to home country, the other stays in US for further advanced study or employment.
In US, biotech is a profession that needs advanced degrees. If OP is intended to stay in US for employment after UG or looking for advanced degree in US, it will be better off and cheaper to get an UG degree in his own country and apply for advanced degree in US, the financial aid is readily available at that level. Otherwise, with $25K budget, he will either get substantial scholarship with high stats or go to a school like U. of North Dakota with a COA less than 25K/year. </p>

<p>Last time I read about it (year 2011?), there appears to be only about 117 international students who matriculated into the first year class of US med schools, even though the total number of med school students each year was like 29K (?) then.</p>
<p>There are more and more US med schools now. In the future, unless political climate is changed, it may become harder and harder for the students who are graduated from a foreign med school to apply and match into a residency program in US before they can practice medicine in US. But anything could be changed as long as the policy is changed. What happens in the Congress or even in the health insurance industry is more important than what happens at med school or hospital. Who knows what the health care system will be in 10 years.</p>
