International Student or Not

<p>Hi,
I am a student who goes to school in South Korea, but has an American Passport.
Do I count as an International Student?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>If you hold US citizenship or are a US Permanent Resident, then you will not be considered an International student. Doesn’t matter where you attend school.</p>

<p>However, you probably will be considered out of state.</p>

<p>petersony,</p>

<p>What kind of school are you attending now? If you are at an International School that follows the US curriculum, your guidance counselor probably has a lot of experience helping students like you get into good colleges and universities in the US. If you are at a Korean school, it is possible that no one at your school has any experience with this. You should read through everything at [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/) then you should make an appointment with the counselors at the advising center in Seoul [EducationUSA</a> - Center Profile - U.S. Education Center South Korea](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/USEC]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/USEC) If you can’t visit in person, find out what kind of help they can give you by phone or email. There are many US citizens in high school in Korea. The EducationUSA office has counselors who know about your special issues.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>if you are us citizen, you are not international and will qualify for financial aid</p>
