Hybrid students are those who have studied in both a foreign country and the United States during their High School years. ( say, you came here in the United States and started high school here as a Sophomore)
I recently heard from my counselor that Colleges arrange applicants into three piles: totally foreign(never studied in the US); Hybrid (as stated above); four-year of High School in the United States.
I am wondering how colleges will actually admit those students? Will they treat them fairly and partially?? Because as far as I am informed,colleges pick on the International students, which is to say they really only accept those “ELITISTS”
Does anyone presumably know what is the percentage that college accepts students from these three files of students?
I think it depends on your citizenship. A retired admissions officer recently told me that colleges usually count US citizens (even if they live abroad) and permanent residents as US applicants and non-citizens as “international students”. She said where you went to high school is irrelevant in this case, so if that’s true, you can just refer to the stats for regular vs. international applicants. But like I said, I’m not too sure.
Just to add another question, does anyone know how they handle the opposite (so if you did 2 years in an American high school and then went abroad AND switched to that country’s school system)?
