Hey,
Does anyone how risky it is to write that you are an undocumented student in an university's application? I mean, like in the essay that they tell you write about, specially the ones that are "free-style". I'm thinking on doing that, but at the same time I don't feel so encouraged to do so, because I am afraid the person that revises the application might be biased and have an opposing attitude towards undocumented students.
Even though I don't like to put this as an excuse, but it has only been my sister that has helped me go through high school (she's my only relative in this country). I am sure that if I were to have at least a parent here I would have done a lot better in the previous years. And I so worried because most of them ask for "leadership", and "community" experiences, when I can't even get out of the house (psst, its a freaking apartment) because I'm BROKE and have no ride at all (my sister comes late from work). I'm really stressing out and I'm sure if I should put that so they can count the obstacles that I have to deal with.
The schools are really selective, and it feels right for me to apply for them. I think I have what it takes, even though I am not that perfect, I think they might do an exception,
(LIke they this to this person with a in Harvard:

ACT → SAT →
I got in with an SAT total of 600 and a GPA of 2.71. I am not athletic. I got in because i am black. So obviously, it is very easy to get in here, but do not go here if accepted.
here's the link to see for your self : http://www.studentsreview.com/gettin...p3?SH=HU&ST=MA, ) BTW my GPA is around 3.75 and my ACT is 30. And well I'm not really applying to Harvard, but more like the U of Penn, or NYU, or even MIT....
Anyone with suggestions of what to do feel free respond.
