1. in the USA you must compelte a BA or BS degree before applying to medical school.
2. At Harvard, Yale and the other elite medical schools, only about 1% of the applicants are accepted. No one applies who isn't very well qualified, so that means that if you are very well qualified your chances of being admitted are 1 in 100.
3. There are very few scholarships at American medical schools. The schools may loan you money, but you have to pay it all back. Since there are thousands of well qualified American students who are being turned away by these schools, the chances of any scholarship or grant being given to a foreign student are extremely small.
4. your idea is not very realistic, I'm afraid. There are 4000 college and university campuses in America. Harvard and Yale are two of the most desired. Many thousands of the best students in the world apply each year and only a small number can be accepted. Both of these schools are rather small - they each take only about 1300 first year students.
If you want to come to school in America you must do much more research about the different schools and how the admissions programs work. You can definitely come to America for college. That is not difficult. But getting into one of the top schools - that is almost impossible.
