I did NOT apply as an international because the Texas med school app system classified me as "Texas Resident". I obviously need my DACA approved by next summer so I can apply to the FAFSA..and matriculate in med skewl if accepted. NOTE: i only applied to TX schools
For those of you who are SERIOUSLY considering a career in health or public health, it is VERY possible...I am ONE degree away (MD) to finally become the public health professional I aspire to be...and Ive done it all as a Dreamer with the grace and many blessings from the Lord OUR savior!!!!

Congrats on your success and i wish you the best this cycle.
I will say that your post is some what misleading. First, you would not be eligible for federal financial aid, did you mean you were going to file a "TAFSA"? This grants you access to state financial aid. I will say that you are very fortunate to live in texas. However i think its quite misleading to say that a career in health care, medicine at that is "very possible"...its only remotely possible in texas. There is a benefit in you applying to texas schools only, you are exempt from the AMCAS filing system, because texas uses a separate filing system, TMDSAS if i remember correctly. Being a texas resident is affording you these opportunities, which unfortunately is a luxury the rest of us non-texans cannot share.
I think everyone who is dedicated should not give up, after all this country needs you. But to call it a bumpy road (until CIR passes) would be a big understatement in my opinion.
