Re: GRE Identification

Yeah, I had a similar issue when I took the GRE. ETS doesn't care and, given the small number of Dreamers who apply for grad programs, likely won't care for the near future. The amount of BS doesn't...

Re: Help regarding CA Dream Act

Yeah you're out of luck. However if you're just going to CC, why not just apply for the Board of Governor waiver?

Unhappy Re: Paying for Grad School

Yes unfortunately you need to qualify as an AB540 student in order to get access to the grant. Since you presumably graduated from a Seattle/WA high school you don't. WSU is friendly towards us, but...

Re: Paying for Grad School

You can get tuition waived at Dominguez Hills via the California Dream Act/University State grant.

USC is certainly friendly to our situation. You need to contact them when you apply so they can...

Re: Graduate School Database for Dreamers

Well from my early responses thus far I think UC Merced, Santa Cruz, and Santa Barbara seem to be the most sympathetic to our situation.

I mean, I know there are dozens of us in the CSU system...

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.

During the recent funding debate the Republicans considered going after the original DACA. Their moderate members were against it on moral (and political suicide) reasons. DACA is here to stay.

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.

As others have noted, DACA is safe as it would be political suicide to remove it. I suspect DAPA may be overturned at the courts or legislature though. We'll just have to wait and see on that front....

Re: Likeliness of DACA being taken away in the future?

Its unlikely to be taken away - any administration that does so will not only suffer backlash from the migrant community, but also internal dissent from USCIS and the Dept. of Homeland Security....

Re: can dream act still pass?

Yes. The Dream Act could very well pass as a compromise with Republicans.

But it wouldn't be enough would it? We can't let this be about just us. It can't be about just providing relief for our...

Re: Midterm elections/EO Predictions
