Disadvantaged Status: yes or no?

most definitely yes. how many people with backgrounds like yours do you think are going to be applying to medical school? you have overcome more than most and will be a more empathetic doctor for it. remember that 60% of medical school matriculants come from families who make more than $100k per year. people who grow up with financial security are at a huge advantage in the education system and you are overcoming huge odds. respect.
 
That's quite a compelling story; you would certainly qualify as disadvantaged in my eyes.

What's your state of residency?
