I was reading the Community College vs. College thread and plenty of advice came to my mind for the young one getting into college, community college or graduate school.

I personally have zero experience getting into graduate school but many members have. Next year I am going to start applying to Film School so I will tell you guys how that goes.

Going to college is a big deal to anyone especially for undocumented students. Many students want to go to college right away because they do not want to miss what their friends are going to have. The reality is, you are not like your friends. Still, that does not mean that you can achieve even more than your friends, it just means that your choices are different.

I am going to make a list of advice but if you have some good information please share it.

Well, the first truism, not only for dreamers, the longer you wait to get into community college/college, the less likely that your will actually do it or finish it. That is also true for people that are in their last college year and decide to go to work for a year and come back and finish the last semester.

So, this is the first bite but there is plenty more.

Thanks
