<p>Nationality doesnt make a difference at all. It's where you graduate from that makes a difference. I am a Norwegian citizen and did my first 12 years of school in Norway. I then moved to S. Korea where I did my last two years of school, and later moved back to Norway for a gap year in which I applied to schools in the States. And guess what...I was considered a Korean applicant! There went my chances...Norway is thoroughly underrepped at colleges, whereas the korean int'l pool is ridiculously competitive...more competitive than most int'l pools. I was told this by and admissions officer to one of the colleges I applied to btw.</p>
