My wife is a 3rd year pediatric resident and got her medical degree from UT Houston. What school do you plan to attend? What exactly do you want to know? I can probably help you out a bit.

Once you go through the application process and get accepted somewhere. There is plenty of financial aid availabl that covers tuition books fees living and a little extra for that four wheeled money pit we all have. I am not a student myself but my wife is a med student at UT Health science center in SA and after the ridiculous process of applying they make it very cut dry and simple when it comes to money's and offer mpooooore then you'll ever need.

I'm no Dr, but I was pre-optometry for several years. With that said, this goes for any degree when you start one school and transfer.
Jr. colleges are good for the basics, but from experience they push classes and getting an Associates degree for their own gain.
Work with the college that you'll be getting your Bachelors degree from and see what they require and what they will transfer. If you're going to UH to get your BS, then work with their pre-med/biology department advisor to get a class plan. This is very important if you may go out of state. I don't know how many people I've talk to through the years that had to retake several classes because they didn't transfer. This can happen even moving across state. I'd go a step further and get info from your medschool of choice to see what they require to decide which bachelor's to persue. So if you wanted Baylor for your medschool, I'd contact their medschool admissions to get requirements.

Talking to a counselor at San Jac is a waste of time, dont even bother with them. I wouldnt even bother getting an associates if your plan is to get into medical school.

First thing you should do is make a list of medical schools you want to go to. Look at their class profile or contact the school and see what degrees other incoming students have. Once you figure out what undergrad you want, look at the course requirements for that program at the undergrad school you plan to attend (UH, A&M, UT, etc.). Then go to San Jac and tell them what you want to do. San Jac should have a specific list (as well as the university you plan to attend) of courses that will directly transfer to your school of choice. I would ask them for it to avoid taking junk classes you dont need.

When you say financial aid, do you mean for undergrad or medical school? The difference is night and day.

As far as the my degree she told me to it would be better to major in biology and to keep my GPA as high as possible. As far as financial aid id like to know when do i stop qualifying for it?

^^This. When do you STOP qualifying for financial aid? As soon as you go below 6 hours for the semester. As long as your 6 hours or above, you will always qualify for financial aid.

^^man, after 2 engineering degrees, I don't wanna hear the word MATH ever again, catch myself working out problems in my nightmares lol.

Don't worry about being out of school for 3yrs, my best friend was in the military for 4yrs and went back to school to get his chemical engineering degree (one of the hardest) at U of H, started in 07 taking a few classes at first to get back in the mix, then increasing the load. You'll be ok. If you need help with math, let me know.
