<p>well obviously this can't hurt you
but i'm a citizen of both Australia and US (live in us)
how much do you think that'll help me? i'm half Australian, do you think i could be seen as a minority and therefore have a better chance at ivies?</p>
<p>nope, sorry.</p>
<p>You'll be treated as a domestic applicant, and will be eligible for federal aid. You won't be seen as a minority.</p>
<p>I wager that there are less Australian / American dual citizens in the United States than there are so-called "under-represented" minorities.</p>
<p>And, somehow, they aren't minorities in the context of college admissions.</p>
<p>Praise "diversity."</p>
<p>haha you always seem to pop up at threads and leave your pessimistic comments pointing out minor flaws in the system... sigh.</p>
<p>You are a minority, just not a URM for college admissions purposes. You will discover that the scope of affirmative action is very narrow.</p>
