<p>I live in texas and I'm about to be done with high school. I want to be a doctor and that has been decided for awhile now..but I am so confused on what to do to follow through with this choice. Do i have to take a pre med program at a 4yr college or can I major in anything I want to like Chemistry or lanuages? Would an 8yr program be best..like 4 yrs undergrad and then 4 yrs at medical school..or those 6 and 7 yr programs? What colleges would be a wise choice..UT austin, A&M collegestation, Rice, Baylor..or something out of state like Brown, U. of Penn, etc...Is undergrad as important as the medical school I go to? What is college is not in my budget..My parents make enough money but they refuse to pay for college..would I be elligible for a grant? Should I try those expensive scholarships?
Please do spread your knowledge bc I am totally ignorant..</p>
