I'm a Colombian senior student living in Florida who came to the US 6 years ago.
I have a 3.6 unweighted GPA, and 5.7 weighted GPA.
I'm finished with Calculus 3, and will be taking Advanced Differential Equations at a local university (as dual enrollment) as well as an advanced programming class next semester.
There's only one problem, I'm not legal.
My dreams are attending a high ranked school such as MIT, Cornell, Carnegie, GA Tech, CA Tech, majoring in quantum physics. Seems like it's going to be a tough task, though.
I received a social security number during my naturalization process, does this really mean I could, for example, apply to one of the aforementioned schools with my social security number or without it? What if I applied without one?
Some scholarships require you to be a resident, do you think applying to one with my social security number can get me in trouble?
Thanks in advance.

State colleges and universities should not ask for any information regarding your legal status when you submit your application. When applying to a state college or university, you are not required to put a social security number. You can leave the space blank on your application with no effect on your likelihood of acceptance. State schools are not required to report undocumented students to the federal government; however, they are required to report international students with a student visa from a foreign country. Once accepted to a state college or university, make sure you are not mistakenly classified as an international student.
