<p>I can't believe this slipped through my mind.</p>

<p>I have a Greencard and have been living with my parents in U.S. since 2000. So I am currently not a U.S. Citizen but do have permanent residency in U.S. I live in MD.</p>

<p>When I was filling out the application, I got to the teacher's recommendation pdf form part.</p>

<p>The pdf form it gives me is for International Students! The application due date for international student was December 1 2008.</p>

<p>I thought I was not considered an International Student. Please help me.</p>

<p>This is a bummer. :(</p>

<p>From the admissions website:
Students who are currently holding or intending to seek an F-1 Student or J-1 Exchange Visitor visa to study in the United States are considered international applicants. All other non-immigrant visa holders (including A, E, G, H, I, and L), permanent residents, and U.S. citizens who wish to apply for undergraduate admission should follow the regular application instructions for freshman or transfer admission.</p>

<p>Thank you astrophysicsmom,</p>

<p>I did read that before hand. By regular application, I know they mean the typical online application. I did just that. But when I get to the recommendations part, it gives me a pdf form for teacher/counselor recommendation. This is also part of the regular application. However, the form it gives me is for International Student with due date December 1, 2008. <a href="http://www.admissions.umd.edu/admissions/pdf/intlfreshcounselor.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.umd.edu/admissions/pdf/intlfreshcounselor.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I know I can call and find out but offices are closed and I can't bare this suspense... or rather a disaster looming over my life. :(</p>

<p>I would just complete it and both foward, there is nothing you can do, but hope. If you don't complete it and wait for answer it might be too late.</p>

<p>if you have a greencard and lived here, then you're not international student. Just print out the resident form and fill it out.</p>
