Being an International Student-How much does this hurt me.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Even though I go to school to the U.S., and have been for the past 7 years or so, I'm not a permanent resident nor a U.S. citizen. Therefore, according to the rules, I'm an international student.</p>

<p>How much does this hurt my chances of getting into a good school? My rank is in my school's top 1%, and I got around 2200 on my SATS, and I got a lot of other stuff going on for me in terms of clubs and awards. </p>

<p>I was thinking about applying to some top notch schools such as Columbia and the UC's, but now I'm thinking about just sticking to a lot of safeties.</p>

<p>Does anyone know anything about this?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>N e one? </p>

<p>Maybe I should clarify more. I read on a college application thing that International students have less chances of getting into a school because there's only so many spots available for a LOT of applicants. </p>

<p>I'm worried that even though my stats are good, I would have a harder time getting into the good schools I want to get into.</p>
