Anyone please? The whole point of this post is to help me get a sense of whether I should look into the option of private loans. The interest rates are high and I would not want to even think about it unless it is absolutely necessary. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Nobdy can expect to get into the schools you are talking about (international or otherwise). With no MCAT score all anyone can say is that an international student must additionally offer something that identifies him as a future leader in medicine in order to have a chance.

Look into private loans no matter what. The information will help you discuss your future with your lienholders (parents).

Thanks a lot! I understand that it's a tough call for anyone to make and I really appreciate your help.
