Am I considered an international student?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I am a green card holder(permanent resident) and I have studied in the U.S for 6 to 7 years. I am currently a senior in highschool in the U.S.
My SAT reading score is not over 670 and I have not taken the TOEFL yet. </p>

<p>I looked at the Cornell website and I have no idea WHO they consider international student and who they dont.</p>

<p>This is directly copy and pasted from the Cornell website:

<p>International Students
At Cornell, we celebrate the great diversity and globalism of our university, its faculty, and students and we are excited that you are considering Cornell for your education. We invite you to explore what it is like learning at Cornell and living on our historic, beautiful campus in Ithaca, New York. </p>

<p>Our applicants are an eclectic group, including international students who have moved between several countries or schools, U.S. citizens who have lived most of their lives abroad, or non-U.S. citizens completing school in the U.S. We read applications based on where you currently attend school, rather than by your citizenship status. Your application will be read with others from the school you attend and those from the same state (U.S.) or country.</p>

<p>Our international students follow the same application process as our first-year applicants or our transfer applicants.</p>

<p>I think that because you have a greencard you’ll go through the application process the same as a citizen would. And because you have been attending school in this country for more than three years, you don’t need to take the TOEFL.</p>
