I have hypothetical a question - if you’re a US citizen but currently residing in a foreign country, are you considered an international or domestic applicant?

I had this situation this year, I called the schools I applied to and was told that my files are considered by the International admissions people, although they keep in mind that you are American. Basically you are placed in a funny sort of hybrid catagory. For finaid purposes, you’re considered the same as any other US citizen.</p>

<p>Why does being international matter even…?? Is it because Colleges can get more money out of internationals? I don’t understand why it should be any harder for internationals.</p>
