<p>is there a difference between asians born in US or somewhere else during admission process?
Thx</p>
<p>are you a citizen or US resident?
Thats all that matters.</p>
<p>???
how about those born in native countries?
aren’t those neithor US citizens not residents?</p>
<p>are you a U.S Citizen or a permanent resident?</p>
<p>A) if you have a U.S passport, then you are a U.S citizen
B) If you have a U.S green-card, then you are a U.S permanent resident (that would be me)
C) If you have a Visa and/or other documentation, you are an international</p>
<p>If you’re international, then you apply as an international student, if not, then you’re considered the same as any normal U.S college applicant.</p>
<p>And Yes there are significant differences. If you’re an international student that needs financial aid, well… you’re screwed.</p>
<p>If you are an US citizen, then you shouldn’t be considered “International”~~Just my point of view…</p>
<p>Thanks…
so if you are Asian and also US citizen or permanent resident, then you have the same chance as any other racial groups (like Hispanic) in US?
If i (international) don’t apply for FA, do i have same chance or still lesser chance?
thanks again…</p>
<p>NO you do not have the same chances as other racial groups, affirmative action is still in place.</p>
<p>If you don’t apply for FA as an international, your chances are a lot better than internationals that are applying for FA, but still worse than citizens and permanent residents</p>
<p>As I know, many colleges don’t give any financial aid AT ALL to internationals.
And most colleges that practice need-blind policy do so only for U.S. citizens/residents.
So much better to have that green card…</p>
<p>Your race and being international are 2 different things completely.</p>
<p>If you’re Asian and you’re a US citizen/resident, then you’re in the normal applicant pool with the disadvantage of being ORM.</p>
<p>If you’re living outside the US, then you’re an international. Acceptance as an international is harder, ESPECIALLY if you’re applying for aid.</p>
<p>omg
thanks
i guess i will just kill myself…</p>
