<p>Being an international can either hurt or help. If you are like the many canadians, indians, east asians, chinese,etc, who apply in their hundreds, and if you in no way differentiate yourselves from these applicants, you will be shafted! (differentiating yourself does not mean going to the embassy and getting a citizenship from papua new guinea!, or so on…)</p>
<p>But if you can use your international upbringing to show your uniqueness and colorful life experiences, you’ll be more attractive to the adcom than americans with stats similar to your’s!</p>
<p>Oh and yeah, MY FIRST POST ON CC!!! YAY!!</p>
