What georgia colleges allow illegal aliens to attend?
If you are going to answer this question saying go back to your country or make a stupid ignorant response similar than that then please disregard my question because i feel that you can take your opinion and shove it. now my question has to do with my boyfriend who is about to lose his visa because he is about to turn 21 and is getting phased out of his visa. unlike popular belief not all people run across the border. ignorant people seem to believe that every hispanic is a mexican who crossed the border in some illegal fashion. well realistically he moved here in high school and due to his parents applying for residency late he will not be able to recieve his green card because once you turn 21 you are no longer considered part of the family and his dad's visa which he has lived off of for 4 years no longer applies to him. now he wants to go to college and after trying to apply for the student F1 visa he found out that he does not meet the requirements for the visa and is left with no more options. he has nothing left in colombia. his whole family is here in Georgia. so now we have looked into the DREAM act which allows illegal aliens to attend college in the united states. my question is what colleges in georgia allow illegal aliens to attend? are there any that allow them to pay in state tuition? and finally what is the process of doing all of this? thanks for any helpful responses. he cant apply for citizenship...you have to be a resident before you become a citizen..and after receiving your green card you have to wait at least 3 years before you can even apply and take the test to become citizen. his family is still in the process of becoming residents.

If his dad has lived here for 4 years, can't he apply for citizenship via the naturalization process in only 1 more year? The first step after all is to live in the states for 5 years.

Overprotective parents?
Overprotective parents?
Ok. I moved from Colombia to NYC last year to go to college. Everything is going great so far. I met a guy, fell in love and we've been dating for 5 months now. However, my parents (dad) are EXTREMELY overprotective of me. They let me come to NYC but now my dad hates the fact that Im dating a guy just because school should be my first and ONLY priority. What he doesn't understand is that dating this guy is not interfering with my studies whatsoever. If anything it's actually making me improve my grades. My dad doesn't understand this and says he's too old for me (6 year difference, which is the same difference that my dad and mom have between each other) and how he's not worth it or so and he disapproves of my relationship. I told him I am sorry he felt that way but he can't changed the fact that I love this guy. My dad threatened me to take me home with them and continue my studies there, if my grades fall. They are not bad and he just wont think of it in that way. He says I should have A's instead of B's. I was NEVER an A+ student and I will never be, but my dad can't accept that I am not the superstar he wants me to be. I want to not depend on their money but I can't work in the US if I don't get a working visa. What should I do? Should I "run" away from home and stay here in NY, look for a job and forget about them? Or what?

i know how over protective parents are and i think you should just stand up to your dad and tell him that you will never be as perfect as he wants you to be. tell him you love your bf and make him understand that age doesnt matter. if he gets mad what can he do? spank you? put you in time out? you are too old for that kind of stuff.

Can I get into SUNY, NYU, Cornell or any other good universities?
Can I get into SUNY, NYU, Cornell or any other good universities?
I am a polytechnic student and I have a GPA of 2.83, 2.44, 2.56 and 2.6 until now! From Electronics and Communication I plan to Get at least 3.7 this semester. However this will bring my Overall GPA to just 2.89. I will be sending this semester's GPA in the mid Year report. I know I have potential but I just messed up everything with video games and friends. I have about 5 extracurriculars like community service, volunteer work, Literature publication, Music recording and theater. I can even have 3.8 in the final semester. can I get in to any of the universities? Please be specific and give reasons. I want to pursue engineering in Computer Science. Also, I have decent SAT scores. over 2230 in Reasoning and 680 to 730 in 3 SAT-II's. NYU SUNY CORNELL WSU CALTECH NJIT PSU Princeton University of Maryland Colombia Also please suggest some universities that I can get into with the above scores. Something that is better than these..

Are you still in high school or are you wanting to transfer from one college to another? With your GPA, NYU, CalTech, Princeton, Cornell and Columbia are not realistic. Don't know what WSU you're referring to, but it's probably going to be difficult to get into any out-of-state college with those grades. You should be able to get into one of the lower- or middle-tier SUNYs, however. If you're still in high school, your best bet may be to go to community college, be serious about your work, get high marks and then transfer to a four-year college

Do I still have a chance?
Do I still have a chance?
It is my freshman year of high school. The school I go to runs by trimesters. For my first trimester GPA, I got a 3.6 (Three A's and two B's). When I grow up, I would like to become an archaeologist (as well as a college history professor). Because they have really good programs for that, I'd like to go to Brown, Colombia, or UPenn. However, those are really good schools. Do I still have a chance on getting into them if I got a 3.6 last trimester? I'll be able to do better this trimester (maybe a 3.8), but I will still probably get a B in math. I do sports year round and a lot of community service. I'm also involved in the Red Cross club and am planning on doing more clubs next year. I'm the best in my grade at biology (there are only three freshman biology classes, so my teacher teaches them all. She told me that I was her best biology student and have recieved the average test scores), and if I keep it up I should be able to get into AP Chemistry next year. I'm also in the freshman honors math class and if I wasn't, I would definitely be getting A's in math easily. I'll also be able to get into honors english and AP World history next year. I'm just really worried that my GPA for last trimester (and most likely this trimester) may have messed up my chances. Do I still have a chance on getting into those schools, or should I set my sights on less prestigious schools? Is there anything I can start doing now to help me get into those colleges, even with a bad GPA (like extra community service or something?)

It's not as hard as you think to get in a college...try your hardest and take challenging courses. and you're only a freshman
2 :
yeah relax. work hard, have fun, then in senior year apply and see what happens. don't sweat it.
3 :
just relax and chill out. start worrying about gpa's in you junior year. I got a 2.7 and i got into upenn, boston college, tulane, and syracuse
4 :
Since you're only a freshman, you really can't tell if you'd get in or not. Just keep up your grades/activities, and you'll do fine.
