That's pretty awesome! It makes me wonder why we even bother to get into local schools that give us such a hard time regarding our status. Had I known this I would have totally applied at an Ivy League school. I had excellent grades and SAT scores when I was in high school, and I was poor as can be, so I think I could've had a good shot . Makes so happy to hear to hear of any Dreamer achieving college education!
