Here is for seniors out there that are undocumented. Basically, this is a list of colleges that rewards a full ride to everyone that is accepted. These are like PRIVATE private colleges. The aid is through private donors and dead millionaires that wanted to provide every person with an education.

-Deep Springs College in California - all male, 11 to 15 people admitted per year, 2 years, strong focus on essays for admissions, if you graduate from here you can go anywhere

-Berea College in Kentucky - seems easy to get into and free for all the 400 they take per year, including internationals

-Cooper Union - Dont know much about it except its free

They seem like good schools that will help us. Feel free to add more. Oh and the applications are free too.

Macaulay Honors College of CUNY http://www.macaulay.cuny.edu

Like Cooper Union, MHC is located in New York City. Although it's a public institution, the funding is private. Thus, Dreamers are eligible. Upon admission, each student receives a laptop, a stipend for study abroad/research purposes to be spread throughout your four years, and free access to most museums and cultural institutions.

During the admissions process, weight is given to high gpa + test scores, along with extracurricular activities and the essay. What people have told me recently is that they are now able to skim off the top of the application pool in terms of gpa/scores. Some colleges are "easier" to get into others, depending on the degree of competition. Hunter, the liberal arts college, is one of the most competitive for its location & the fact that its students get free housing for 4 years.

Though you will be a Macaulay scholar, your main campus will be one of the participating CUNY colleges, from which you will receive your degree.

One of the great things about MHC is not only access to NYC, but that because NYC is so competitive, CUNY attracts some of the best and well-regarded professors academia has to offer. Many alumni have gone onto the Ivy's for graduate school.

Research into each of the participating colleges; let your main interests be your guide. If your scores/gpa are solid but not stellar, apply, especially if you feel you have something to offer. Remember, it's about being a good fit for a particular school, or a particular program.

Cooper Union only has like 8% or lower chance of acceptance rate. I'm from one of the specialized high school from NY that ranked top 30 in US. and usualy only 5-7/700-750 people from my school gets admitted a year.
So unless you're top 10% in in US, Cooper Union is kind of out of reach for you especially if you're not from New York State
