Where are DACA student matching?

[MedSchool99999]

Hi all,

What is the Match process like applying as a DACA student? Like when applying to medical school, will only certain residency programs consider DACA applicants? What other hurdles do DACA applicants face (state restrictions, etc...). If there are some DACA Docs on SDN who have recently gone through the process, would you mind sharing your experience?

Thank you!

@LizzyM I was wondering if you might be able to point me in the right direction? Thank you so much!

There were stories in the Washington Post and Chicago Tribune about DACA medical students this past winter but nothing in terms of follow-up after Match. Loyola has the largest class but AFAIK, the name of only one M4 is public and Loyola does not have a Match list readily accessible.

Pretty safe bet matching would be the least of their problems. I'd worry more about the DEA and state licensing.
