Saludos!

I am currently mentoring a high school senior who is undocumented. We are trying to find a list of colleges that have a great reputation of accepting undocumented students in the state of New York. Can anyone suggest some colleges please? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Saludos Steve,

While all universities will accept undocumented students, I would highly recommend that the student look into private colleges in the area. If they have a high GPA they should consider an Ivy League Institution. Private universities do not receive federal aid, therefore, they are able to use funds as they wish. This includes providing aid for undocumented students.

Finally, I would recommend this article by College Board regarding undocumented students - [professionals.collegeboard.com].
