Weird International Applicant !!??

If you requested a green card and are in the process of getting one, the best thing you can do is WAIT till it arrives. Yes I know all your classmates are moving on, but you have to be patient. Take CC classes UNTIL your HS graduation but DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS (community college, 4-year college, any college) AFTER HS graduation.
Having a green card will make admission incredibly easier for you, you’ll qualify for instate tuition, for state aid, for federal aid, won’t be in the same “pool” for admission at private colleges, and in short you’ll have venues that are right now closed or almost, to you.
