I am a NC student graduating from college with a BA in Mathematics & Psychology this coming Spring. I am beginning the process applying to dental school but I've run into a roadblock: Some dental schools have never met a DACA student.

There are two dental schools in NC which are pretty much shutting their doors (ECU only accepts NC residents with green cards and UNC only accepts students with green cards) so I think it is time for me to move around the US, become a resident in a certain state, and apply to dental school there. So here are my questions:

1. What states should I steer away from due to racial profiling, unfriendly to immigrants, difficulty to get a driver's license, etc?
I'm crossing out Arizona and Nebraska off my list. Any other states?

2. Which states are the most supporting and accepting of DACA students and immigrants?

3. What states would consider me as a resident & accept me with just DACA?
I know there is a list for undergrad colleges but does this also include the dental schools in that area?

Thank you so much! I'm going to post this on a dental forum too but I feel like I would get better answers here. If you guys have any questions about undergrad in NC, feel free to ask!

California might be a good choice

Since DACA is so new, I think most dental schools will not have encountered a DACA individual. The best bet is to pick an immigrant friendly state. I know there are other members looking into medical schools who are running into same issues that might know best way to approach the schools. Maybe speaking to someone higher up in the school who has the ability to make exceptions in certain situations?

Washington State is the handsdown champion of immigrant rights. Also, weed and coffee.
