Hey all. I am having an interview with a school this week, and I am very nervous because it's my first.

I am deciding whether I should mention my situation to the alumni. To me, my undocumented status has been my biggest dillema during hs. Of course there were a lot of problems I have faced, this is the biggest and it has changed me greatly in a positive way.

This school is a school that welcomes undocumented students so I wrote on my app about my status. However, I did not get personal.

Do you htink it'll be okay to tell the alumni if he asks something like "what has been your biggest problem?" "why do you wnat to study what you want to study?" (study is related to my status)

Help !!!

Just regular interview advice would be helpful too. Like, do I bring a resume, do I have to dress?

No, just don't do it. Those people don't understand what it's like to be undocumented.

It's not worth the risk, you are not a martyr. Don't listen to these people who tell you to do it, they're not the ones getting deported or discriminated on... Also prevention is better than cure.
