Ok, wow my brain is fried. I just spent the whole day reading and gather information, and it seems that it is possible to go to medical school if you are illegal.

Good new.

It seems that you can go medical school, but it there is only data from Texas.

I'm not sure about other states.

"According to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), in the fall of 2005 there were only 8,940 undocumented young people enrolled in public unviersities in Texas - less than one percent of the 1.17 million students enrolled in higher education institutions statewide. Of this number, 73% percent attended community colleges, 26% attended four-your institutions and less than 1% percent were enrolled in health-related institutions(including medical schools)(Texas Higher Education Coordination Board, 2006)"

So that means about 90 students are enrolled in health institutions that includes medical school.

I suppose why we don't hear about them is because they are in such few numbers.

I will create a new thread about this.
