I have recently returned to school thanks to the opportunity/hope that DACA has provided me.

Thank you! You'll get approved soon! There's no harm in trying to look for work apparently. I'm pretty sure they were well aware of my previous work history. Amidst all this, the financial industry is heavily regulated more than anything else. As long as you don't have a previous criminal record, I can say in my case for example it's forgivable, especially in an economy like this where everyone is having a hard time trying to make ends meet.
Don't let anyone discourage you from achieving your goals and dreams.
Best of luck!
