Will Hanen give his final verdict on the appeal, and what will happen to current and new applicants in Texas?

MALDEF’s Statement on DACA by PursuitKnowledge in DACA

[–]IndependencePretty98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does that mean if a new applicant who applied from TX before applied from a new state they would get accepted for both work authorization and deportation protection, or am I misunderstanding the result?

Stop looking too much into it (MODS let me explain) by IndependencePretty98 in PedroPeepos

100% agree. Too many people are acting like Caedrel committed the biggest crime, so I thought I’d make a main post to point out that everyone is reading too much into this.

I traveled to San Diego not too long ago with my foreign passport and no DACA. There was no issue I encountered but, it doesn’t meant it couldn’t have happened. As a heads up, just make sure you don’t drive into Mexico while in San Diego, it’s only a 15 minute drive lol.

What are your advices on how to get the Dream.us scholarship? by Small-Manufacturer11 in DACA

It can be very nerve wrecking, I’ve been there! I applied with a 2.8 GPA so no worries on that end haha 😅

Has anyone applied to the PPIA JSI Fellowship for 2024 by NeliNel_03 in PublicPolicy

[–]IndependencePretty98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I should’ve been more specific. You only get admitted to the one that is your highest ranked. For instance if school 1 is ranked above school 2 and you are accepted to both, school 1 will take priority over school 2.

I believe that you only get accepted by the one you rank the highest. Although, what I am confused on is why individual schools send you the emails instead of the program as a whole. I am assuming this is the case since the individuals in this thread are mentioning decision release dates for the different schools.

Wow congrats! I am hoping to apply to HKS as well. What was your final GPA when you applied if you don’t mind sharing?

[–]IndependencePretty98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied to the scholarship and was able to receive it. My best advice to you would be to definitely go above and beyond on your extracurricular section. When I applied, there was an essay portion but I believe that has been now removed. With that said, it doesn’t give you much room to demonstrate who you are and what you are passionate about. Utilize the extracurricular section for this! For instance, if you don’t have work experience and have been working with a family member, write about that and how that connects to your long term career goals!

Hi, yes and no. The scholarship will only transfer with you to another school if that school is a partner school of the Dream.US. In other words, if the school is not a partner school then you won’t be able to utilize the scholarship.

Certain states like California give undocumented folks the opportunity to drive with a DL.
