Hi,
I'm new to all of this, I always wanted to got to college but the cost kept my from even looking. I saw an ad for College Plus and after talking to them on the phone realized they are just a middle man for something anyone could do for themselves. After years of my own study at home and wishing I had gone to school I want to get a BA in Biology and apply to med school. Before I get in too deep I'ed like to ask a few questions and hear what folks that have already done this "frankenstein" degree thing.
Firstly can a BA in Biology from TESC be done purely at home?
Can I get financial aid like Pell grants while I'm doing this?
Could I get a Federal Perkins Loan, to help pay out of pocket cost?
Can I still write it off at the end of the year?
Will a Pell grant pay for testing?
And most of all will any medical school consider me? (I would like to go to MCW)
Do any of you know of someone that got a BA like this and went to medical school?
