I go to school in another country but I live in the U.S. Will i be considered an international applicant when I apply to schools? Thanks in advance
You are a US Citizen? If yes, then you are not an International applicant.
If you are a US citizen or legal permanent resident alien, then you will be considered domestic for financial aid purposes. Whether or not you need to use the admissions application for a truly international applicant will depend on each college/university. Contact the admissions office. Tell them you are a US applicant educated outside the US, and ask what they want you to do.
If your citizen and/or legal permanent resident alien parents live in the US while you study outside the US, then you will have in-state residency for tuition and fees purposes in the state where your parents live (possibly in more than one state if each parent lives in a different state).
If you are not a US citizen or legal permanent resident alien, then you are an international applicant.
Thanks @Gumbymom and @happymomof1 I am a U.S citizen and legal resident but am in a high school in Canada.
Are your parents currently residing in Canada? If so, you are a US citizen but will be out of state for all public universities in the US. You however will be to apply for Federal Financial aid if needed.
“I go to school in another country but I live in the U.S.”
Do you cross the border every day to get to high school? If so, then surely your high school has dealt with this situation before. What do the teachers/counselors/principal there have to say about this?
@Gumbymom My parents have dual residency in both countries
@happymomof1 It depends as I have dual residency. Some days I do and others i do not. My parents work in the U.S
Are you in a boarding school in Canada? If not, how are you attending school in Canada if your parents live in US.
@texaspg - I have relatives whose property borders Canada and who routinely cross that border to go to church on Sunday. It doesn’t surprise me at all that a family might live in the US and have parents who work in the US and kids who attend school in Canada - especially if it happens to be the closest one. What does surprise me, is that zxcvbnm1216 seems to be figuring out the college application process without support from anyone at his/her high school. Given that the school is near enough to the US border for zxcvbnm1216 to cross frequently, one would think that the staff members responsible for college applications would be on top of this sort of thing.
