<p>Your own community college almost certainly has a designated Transfer Advisor. Go see that person, and get some advice about your application list. If your CC has any articulation agreements with 4-year colleges/universities, the Transfer Advisor will certainly know, and will be able to hep you with that process. He/she also should also be able to tell you which colleges and universities around the country have admitted students with your grades and goals within the past few years.</p>
<p>You do need to know now that there is very little aid for international students, and very little aid for transfers. Find out what your parents can pay, because that will determine where you end up studying.</p>
<p>You also need to know that most medical schools in the US do not admit any international applicants. Of the few that do, most will require that you pay your full tuition and fees for all four years up front before you begin your first day of class. Unless you will have your green card before it is time to apply to medical school, it will be almost impossible for you to be admitted anywhere in the US.</p>
<p>A lot of private schools are affordable for me and I never expect any of them offer me scholarship. I am trying to go to school in east coast yet all the transfer agreement my community college has are in Wash. State.</p>
<p>Even though you don’t want to stay in Washington state, one safety option would be to choose a place where you have fulfilled the requirements for the articulation agreement. That would be an easy application, and you would have your back-up plan.</p>
<p>Public universities that receive a lot of transfer students from the community colleges in their own state often are pretty generous with out-of-state transfers as well.</p>
