Importance of listing countries of previous residence

<p>I was born in Singapore and lived there for almost two years, but I have lived in Sweden ever since. I figured I might be at a disadvantage if I were to list Singapore as a country I've lived in, as I might then be forced to compete against Singaporean applicants. Would I? Or would it be ok to ignore listing it at all, considering the time period was so short?</p>

<p>Colleges care where you attend high school. And your citizenship. You’ll be considered among European/Swedish applicants, I assume.</p>
