I am a dual citizen of both the U.S. and the Philippines (I acquired the former through my father). I was born and raised in the Philippines all my life until I was 12, then I moved to the U.S. where I’ve lived ever since. How does this affect my admissions, if any at all? I’m afraid that putting my citizenship can raise concerns with financial aid
It’s a non-issue.
Put dual citizenship, US/Philippines. It’s a little plus (international exposure) but the key factor is that you’re an American so your financial aid is American, which is much, much, better than being in the international pool.
It won’t; you’re a US citizen for FA purposes.
