The SAT and ACT are standard entrance examinations that almost all colleges and universities in the US require (one or the other) to complete an application. Very high scores (nearly perfect) will make you available for some scholarships.
US colleges and universities weigh the entrance exam, your high school gpa, class rank and a writing sample to evaluate whether or not to accept your application for entrance.
Most foreign students have difficulty recieving financial aid, with high credentials or not. Be prepared for that.
Like all prospective students, you will be applying not to become a medical doctor, but a freshman with a pre-med major. Pick prospective schools that are strong in science and have good records of alumni attending medical school.
Some schools offer pre-med programs, but they are not necessarily majors. Get in touch with the admissions at the schools you want to, explain your situation, and take their advice. Good luck!
