Not sure about this sentence?

I'm trying to write "they say they have wanted to go to university since they were little" but I'm not sure if the tense is quite right.
Dicen que han querido ir a la universidad desde que ellas eran pequeñas.
Thank you very very much to anyone who can check this for me!!

The sentence is ok. It would be better omiting "ellas".
An advice. It would sound more natural using the present simple.
Dicen que quieren ir a la universidad desde que eran pequeñas.

I agree with changing it to the present tense (assuming that they still want to go to the university). I half agree with omitting "ellas". I would probably put it in front of "dicen" to say what party is being spoken about. - codyandrews1993, Dec 11, 2016
