<p>bump one more time thanks.</p>
<p>Not sure about your international status, but you have great chances overall. I would add some more colleges to your list though–the Ivies aren’t the only colleges out there.</p>
<p>you have to apply as an international if you do not have a green card physically present at the time you are applying.
otherwise, you can apply as a domestic student. (for most colleges anyways).</p>
<p>Well, Siemens regional finalist is still nationals. Being a regional finalist means that you were selected as one of the top 30 projects in the nation.</p>
<p>If you have a green card you are not an international , you can apply as a domestic and will be eligible for any scholorships loans awards etc.,</p>
