<p>I was wondering if there is a disadvantage for permanent residents (green card holders) compared to citizens when applying to college. I heard there may be less financial aid/scholorships offered, but is there anything else?</p>
<p>i became a citizen right before i applied to college, b/c i heard it makes a difference, but after going through the process myself, i dont think it does...</p>
<p>Not at all.</p>
<p>Why in the world would schools that state there's no difference then have a quota of PRs? It doesn't affect them in the slightest. C'mon.</p>
<p>No difference.</p>
