My road from DACA to Med school
Hi everyone
Just here to say THANKS for the past... many years that Ive been lurking here and asking for advice from before DACA to now. I just sent in my renewal (March exp). God willing... it gets renewed before then But aside from all the political fuss etc, DACA has certainly changed my life in so many ways and as someone who has always dreamed of being a doctor and contributing to society in the most meaningful way possible, I have already received a medical school acceptance with more interviews to come at schools that I could have only dreamed of being at. Not to mention, many of them are also willing to give out scholarships and loans to DACA students--especially the private medical schools. Thus, Im being treated the same as regular US citizens and PR in admissions and tuition. Supreme Court hearing takes place next week. There are so many DACA ppl who are full functioning, law-abiding, contributory members to society and I think it would be interesting to see how this all turns out. Let's not give up hope now! |

Re: My road from DACA to Med school
Nice job great to hear of other DACA students making it. I applied a little late due to my late MCAT so I haven’t had any luck this application cycle but it’s not over yet. If anything I’ll apply again next year but on the first day haha.

Buy a copy of the MSAR from the AAMC. Its a good investment, about $30. If and when you do end up applying it is extremely useful. It has a list of all the schools and if you search then individually, they all tell you their DACA policy and whether they are also considered. best of luck to you ! |

Congrats! Keep going and don't ever stop working on your goals.
I was fortunate to obtain a PhD and I am now a college professor. Our lives have changed so much for the better since DACA. Everything is possible if we keep working hard and don't let anyone else dissuade us from pursuing our dreams. |
