<p>hey, does being a foreign citizen, but living in the united states (greencard) hurt you in the admissions process? I understand that most schools are not need-blind for international citizens, so would not needed aid help me?</p>
<p>Most schools treat permenent residents the same as citizens.</p>
<p>how does being a dual citizen affect you?</p>
<p>bump..........</p>
<p>how can you be a dual citizen? doesn't it violate the law?</p>

<p>how does it affect you for applying to college? does it make you an international student? is that a good thing?</p>
<p>As far as I know, international students are normally defined as citizens of countries other than the United States, so having a dual citizenship (even if one country is America) makes you an international student. So I suppose you would be treated as an international student, which could either work for or against you. You should really call specific colleges and ask how they look at dual citizenship, I feel like there isn't a blanket answer. Being an international student makes it harder to get into many schools, and it certainly affects financial aid.</p>
<p>how exactly does it affect financial aid?</p>
<p>For many schools, the financial aid available to international students is limited and much more competitive to gain than for plain old American students. And most international students aren't eligible for federal aid.</p>
