Hello, I moved to the U.S. in 2012. I moved from Syria. I am completely fluent in English and Arabic. I have good grades and test scores. I am not sure if being from the Middle East would hurt my chances at colleges here. Any ideas?
International student means no financial aid and more money to the university. Honestly, your chances are probably higher as an international student. No one will care if your from the middle east. We have quite a few other students/faculty from middle eastern countries and a very active middle eastern cultural club.
