Rise ACT lawsuit

Hey everyone, hoping to get some guidance. I'm an undocumented student, and I had the MAP Grant through the RISE Act. After the recent court ruling, both were pulled from my financial aid award.
Classes start in 2 weeks, and I'm trying to figure out my options. I've already Financial Aid but didn’t get much traction. Has anyone else has been affected by this or has been through something similar?
I'm trying to stay enrolled and start on time, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

Realistic transfer options

Hi! I’m looking for advice on realistic transfer options.
I’m currently pursuing a B.S. in Biology and completed my first two years at a Canadian university. I will apply as a U.S. permanent resident.
I have 51 earned credits and a 66.33% cumulative average on the Canadian grading scale. I have two failed courses, Cell Biology and Statistics(Stats was later retaken and passed whereas I didn’t retake Cell Biology).
My long-term goal is medical school, so I’m looking for a reputable but affordable university where I can improve my GPA and complete my pre-med requirements. I’m mainly interested in Illinois/Chicago and nearby areas, but I’m open to other options.
What universities would I have a genuinely high chance of getting into with this profile?
Thanks!
