TIPS FOR A SMOOTH PROCESS:
Tip #1: Make sure that every single question is answered! The universities will return it as incomplete! Check it thoroughly before they are sent to the schools.
Tip #2: Apply to the schools before OCTOBER 1ST. This ensure you get a student ID ASAP. That ID is super important on the application. They will get rid of the application if its not on there (even if they say they don’t)
Tip #3: For MALE students make sure their selective service is a priority! This will delay them in awarding if this is not submitted. It takes forever for Selective Service to create their card. You can obtain their cards online by putting in their ITIN # if they don’t have a social as DACA recipients.
Request ITIN #'s for students using this form https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw7.pdf
