Am I an international student??

<p>I want to apply for johns hopkins but i don't know if I'm an international student.</p>

<p>I have a dual citizenship, I'm both american and egyptian which means i can be treated like an american but i've studied in Egypt my whole life so what does that make me??</p>

<p>There are two ways an applicant to Johns Hopkins University can be defined as an international student, one related to the admissions process and the other for financial aid reasons. </p>

<p>1) International student defined as it pertains to Financial Aid
One is considered an international student if they are a non US-citizen AND a non-US permanent resident. If you have dual citizenship, then you are a US-citizen and therefore are eligible for all forms of financial aid and therefore not considered an international applicant.</p>

<p>2) International student related to Admissions selection
Here the question of whether you are an international student relates not to citizenship but rather where you attend high school. The admissions team at Johns Hopkins University has a number of counselors who specialize in reviewing applicants who have attended high school outside of the United States. If you attend high school in Egypt, no matter what your citizenship is, you will be reviewed by the international admissions staff. The only additional requirement you will have to determine whether you need to submit is the TOEFL.

<p>Thank you that was very helpful but still confusing because I’m both so do I need to download the International Student Certification of Finances form and send it with the application or not and I scored 680 in CR (above 670) so I don’t need the TOEFL</p>

<p>Oh, I understand now. Thank you but still what about the form, should i download and send it?</p>

<p>The International Student Certification of Finances (COF) form is only required of truly international students, as I defined in the first category. Since you hold a U.S. citizenship, even if it is a dual citizenship, you are not considered an international student and do not need to the COF form as you will not need to obtain a student visa to student in the U.S.</p>
