<p>What are my chances of getting into an Ivy if I've been living in New Zealand (I'm 16, we moved here in March from New Jersey)? Or Oxbridge? I imagine that universities will have a certain quota to satisfy for international students...</p>
<p>Since you’re still a US citizen (you didn’t renounce, did you?) I doubt you’d be considered an international… I’m not sure exactly what they’d call you but from what I can figure you’d probably be looked at just like any other OOS student (or any other US student to a private school.) You should email a couple of the Ivys that you’re interested in and ask them about your pretty unique situation. But don’t be blinded by the Ivys, there are a lot of great schools in the US where you’ll have a much better shot at getting in.</p>
<p>Hi, I’m living in NZ and applying for 2009 admission, but was born in New Jersey.
As always, your chances will depend on your CV and stats, but I think for most of the top Ivies you will be considered part of the domestic applicant pool. Oxbridge is pretty tough, but also unless you are rolling in cash think hard, its 25thou pounds a year for non UK applicants (including room and board).</p>
<p>I think your unique status could help you and I also agree that contacting the universities is also a good idea but like mentioned above do look into other US schools! There are plenty of amazing universities to consider.</p>
<p>US citizen? I’m a US citizen who’s been overseas most of my life (NZ included) and from everything I’ve read up on, I’m considered an out of state student, not an international.</p>
