Re: DACA to AOS

Mine took 9 months for the notice. My parents had a friend who's whole process (from submitting the application to GC in hand) took 5 months. Luck of the draw I guess.

Re: Applaying for advance parole right now ?

Don't do it. Even if you were to get approved, if the demagogue cancelled DACA while you were out, you may not get back in.

Re: I'm a college admissions counselor. Ask me anything about college.

Re: I'm a college admissions counselor. Ask me anything about college.

If you've already graduated, there's not anything you can do about that GPA. What you can do is score really well on your entrance exams to try to redeem yourself. Another good option is to consider...

Re: I'm a college admissions counselor. Ask me anything about college.

Yes. Scholarships at that next level are different, because you are typically looking at things like GA positions, TA positions, and paid research positions. The money comes from that specific...

Re: I'm a college admissions counselor. Ask me anything about college.

I'm not really comfortable sharing the exact name because it would be really easy to figure out who I am from googling my university BUT it's a school in the southeast. If it turns out I can help...

Re: DACA to AOS
