<p>How do colleges view dual citizenship? Do they see it as a plus for diversity? If a college is need-blind for U.S. citizens, but need-aware for internationals, which standard do they use for dual citizens?</p>
<p>It might depend on which you consider to be your “permanent home.” If your live in the US but have citizenship in another country because of familial association, then they’d probably consider you under the standards for US citizens. Don’t hold my word to it, though. Your dual citizenship could very well work to your advantage if you play your cards right (i.e. yes, the diversity thing).</p>
<p>how about if i am a permanent resident of the us but not a citizen? is it going to help? (i have a citizenship in other country)</p>
<p>Apparently permanent residents are not considered international for applications.

<p>I have dual citizenship with Switzerland. Doubt that it helped at all. If you live in the States and have US citizenship, you’re a domestic applicant, no matter that you have citizenship in another country.</p>
<p>I don’t think there’s an option on the application for Dual citizen. You just count as an American (that’s what I put anyway). I guess you could note it in the additional info, but I doubt it would help in any way.</p>
