Phenomenal question, Chasity! It is critical for you to identify what is valuable to you in the college selection process. This will help you in identifying what's the "best" school for you based on your personalized"fit". Is it cost, location, size, or programs with student support services for women interested in medical school? Of course, degree offerings in medical sciences/biology/pre-med it also important. I would encourage you to check out College Board's college assessment survey at:
https://collegesearch.collegeboard.org/home?ef_id=EAIaIQobChMI69fxq6Dn8AIVDIizCh18ZQG8EAAYASAAEgJIVPD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!4330!3!512875241691!e!!g!!college%20board%20college%20search!12699777302!120535735677&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI69fxq6Dn8AIVDIizCh18ZQG8EAAYASAAEgJIVPD_BwE
Use this online tool to think about schools to consider.

It is also paramount that you to consider schools that provide you opportunities for you to engage in the medical profession directly as an undergraduate student. Consider colleges/universities that have a medical center on campus where you have access to real-world experiences.

Also, be sure to check out US News and World Report's rankings of medical colleges -- remember to be sure to consider your college selection values when assessing these medical colleges.

Chasity, this depends on a few things. It will depend on what your financial situation is, on where you would like to live (while you go to school), what level of medical degree you're looking for, etc. If money is no object, you can look online for medical programs based on the degree you're searching for, find the college of your dreams and enroll. If you can't afford to pay for college housing and you're likely to go to college from home or do online classes, you have different options. Most importantly, do some good research. Also research grants and scholarships. It can take a good amount of work, but it can reduce your tuition costs significantly if you find some good grants. I used to mentor a high school student who was looking to get into the medical field. I arranged for an interview with a family physician. My mentee and I discussed questions he would ask the physician. He got some good insights to what starter classes to look for; to what to expect in his first few years; some cheaper options for colleges that would result in the same education, and so on. Talking to someone who already did what you're looking to do is a great way to set yourself up to succeed. And most often, those people want to pass on some good advice.
