int student admission?

<p>one quick question:</p>

<p>Im an international student, and i go to a private boarding school in california (one of the best?). When I apply to college, will I be "competing" against other hong kong applicants or my classmates in the states?</p>

<p>at most colleges, with the possible exeption of harvard, you'll be 'competing against' all other intls, esp if you are applying for aid.
...please correct me if i'm wrong</p>

<p>yes u will compete against all intels as well.... :(
why the exception of harvard?</p>

<p>gd luck!!</p>

<p>harvard claims that they group applicants according to the regions they apply from not their citizenships...but i don't really see the logic in that, since govt quotas are based on citizenships</p>
