I came here on B1 B2 visa and filled the AOS package,once you got your EAD and SS number you can go to school right away only paper you need to show them with the card is the proof that you dont have criminal record.I hope this info helped you.Sorry for bad english,still learning.

The official USCIS stance on this...I am thinking it is probably the same for F-1...

As long as an H-1B, H-1C, and L-1 nonimmigrant remains compliant with his or her nonimmigrant classification, including restrictions on periods of stay, changes in employers, and conditions of employment, the mere fact that he or she has filed an application for adjustment of status does not render him or her ineligible for an extension of nonimmigrant status. Similarly, the mere fact than an alien has filed an application for adjustment of status does not make him or her ineligible for nonimmigrant classif ication as an H-1B, H-1C, or L-1.
