Hey, I was granted DACA last August and I'm basically in the process of working on pharmacy school application which has been my long dream. Luckily, when I was undocumented, where I had no visa and SSN, my school accepted me and I took classes for 4 years with them offering me some scholarship although I had to pay 2 times the in-state students do. (my state do not offer financial aid nor in-state tuition). I came a long way to get here and although I was concerned about huge amount of tuition money of attending pharmacy school, my parents always told me to try hard then one day you will get paid off. Also, I might get some financial help from relatives or cosigner in case of getting a loan. Back to the point, I'm working on pharmacy school application and in this website they told me to state a citizenship status. Of course, I'm not a permanent resident but I know my school and other school that I'm applying do consider international student ( I don't know if this is the right category I fall into). But I do want to emphasize to them that I don't need to get sponsorship or get H-1 visa since I already hold EAD, and my chance will be higher of course If I don't get considered as international student since they have higher admission restriction. So under current citizenship status, initially I was debating between eligible non-citizen or foreign citizen as option and also type of visa I hold.. but you know we have EAD but no visa. Should I put "none" or "other" in type of visa I hold? Also, "non-eligible citizen" or "foreign citizen"? This is general application that goes to every school I'm applying to but I'm going to put down "DACA" status on specific school supplemental application.
