i am a 17 year old male with a 3.8gpa coming from a single parent household. my mother is the sole provider (granted there is help from extended family, who make well over 300k a year) making $50k a year.

i intended on going to a four year for psychology and then to medical school for an mD to become a psychiatrist.

i understand that i would obviously need to take out student loans and apply for any financial aid/scholarships possible, but somewhere down the line i doubted the possibility.

given my current situation, am i likely to become a psychiatrist and have my plans go accordingly? or should i step back and settle for something less in the hopes that maybe i wasn’t the generation wealth would come down upon.
