I graduated from high school in 2008. I really want to go to college for further education. I think I will have to apply as a change of status international student, but even tho if I get accepted, I will not be able to go to classes until my status change to a student visa.

I also asked a immigration specialist how to legalize my status, he told me I can get student visa through college if they accept me, they will sponsor me to school. So what do I do to get the college to sponsor me?

And when I research about the Dream Act, I see many undocumented students are in college or graduated from college, so I want to know how did they apply?
