Americans Living Abroad: Advantage?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I moved from the US to Europe in between my sophomore and junior years. </p>

<p>I know that, for financial aid, I am considered a US Citizen and therefore read as a Need-blind applicant for most schools. </p>

<p>(I grew up in the US so was able to build good list of EC's and obtain high test scores because I grew up with standardized tests)</p>

<p>I know that the European admissions rep will read my app, but will they compare me to domestic students since I am a US Citizen and do I have an advantage??</p>

<p>Remember, the most important thing is your GPA and SAT/ACT scores. I would think that as a college is building a class that having someone who has live abroad would provide some diversity.</p>
