<p>I know that most colleges in the states are need-aware for international students, obviously hurting their chances of admittance if they are applying for financial aid.
I am a US citizen (also have French citizenship) but I did my last 2 years of high school in Greece (in an American high school) and graduated from there. Am I considered an 'international' student as far as financial aid is concerned?
Thanks for any help! (:</p>
<p>No, you’re an American. You’re NOT an int’l as far as FA is concerned.</p>
<p>However, some schools put the school applications from students like you in the int’l pile for some odd reason.</p>
<p>Since you are graduating from a US style international school, your application will be read by the admissions officer who is expert on those schools. If you were coming from a local Greek school, it would most likely be read by the officer most familiar with Greek schools.</p>
<p>As for aid, you are a domestic applicant which is a very, very good thing!</p>
<p>You will be eligible for school aid and federal FA but will probably be considered out of state for all public Us.</p>
<p>Many schools are need aware for all US citizens, portfolios aren’t what they used to be :(.</p>
<p>And honestly, all the schools that don’t meet need only barely count as need blind; getting an offer of admission that you can’t afford to accept doesn’t really help you.</p>
