<p>By the time I write my college applications, I will be a permanent resident.
(I'm a Korean citizen)
Am I an International student then?
Because I'm not a U.S. citizen?</p>
<p>Permanent residents are not considered as international students</p>
<p>phew thanks :)</p>
<p>You would indicate what your status is on the day that you apply then contact the admissions offices once your status changes</p>
