i'm sure you know this already, but 90% of the medical school applicants apply early june.
if you apply late, they do rolling application process and put you in wait list
it's mostly first come first serve
so if you didn't know, you should apply in june.
i've been in this forum for a while, and i did know that it takes 6 months after the law was passed before we could apply for it, and then more time after we recieve the conditional green card.
it's just that i am already a fifth year, if i apply this june, it's already late, if i have to wait till next year, then.....
you gotta do what you gotta do right?
I know about the rolling admissions, but some private schools don't have it so it wouldn't make too much of a difference.

Are you planning on applying to private schools or public schools? Also do you go to a state that provides instate tuition? If you do, and you apply to a public school in that state, it wont be as hard to get in.

I pretty sure when you apply, if you are currently applying it dream act it would be fine. I remember reading a private schools financial aid packet, and it said if you are currently apply for a visa,permanent residency, or, etc, you can still accept you.

Also what do you mean by repair your gpa? I don't want specifics or anything, but do you mean how would you rate yourself? Top tier,Very competitive, average, below average, etc.

The reason I ask is because I am currently compiling a lot of information about schools I am looking to apply and could share it.

Also I it would suck to wait. Lets just hope something gets done early.

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.

Yeah, I go to student doctor network all the time. Very informative. What state do you live in? If you live in Texas, I have information in the medical school thread, you can apply to public medical schools and have a good chance to get in if you are undocumented; it isn't held against you.
