> Does this actually work? Aren't the waiting lists years long?

Yes. I didn’t get it, but a founder I worked with did.

Sometimes one gets lucky. And sometimes you spend more than a year broke as a founder. There are also all kinds of head-of-the-line options depending on your race, parents’ college status, et cetera.

You typically have to be a resident to apply. I think they may also explicitly ask about college enrolment.
