<p>what will happen(assuming you're international)... if you apply as a domestic student, but sent them a fax telling them that you made a honest mistake on the application and that you're really an international, a week before decisions come out</p>
<p>obviously, the above works only if you go to school in US</p>
<p>I don't think you're likely to find any concrete answers here. (Most of us on this forum are Internationals living outside the US) </p>
<p>Your best option would be to call the colleges directly and ask. (Though it does strain belief when you claim to have only discovered this a week before decisions)</p>
<p>Be frank, be repentant, and hear what they say.</p>
<p>You will either be rejected or (if your acceptance letter is already in the mail) the acceptance will be rescsinded.</p>
<p>The application explicitly asks you for your coutry of citizenship and if you put down US when it really is China you are bluntly lying. I cannot imagine any scenario where you could indicate a wrong citizenship by mistake (unless you don't speak English lol).</p>
<p>maybe someone who has double citizenship decides to use one or the other citizenship
(but then, being US citizen helps a hundred times for the most most selective schools)</p>
<p>^ most applications have a spot to mention dual citizenship....</p>
<p>i see, i was really just wondering. </p>
<p>i have a couple of friends who are internationals and who didn't do too well on the college applications. one, an international who needs financial aid, has better stats than me but he was rejected at most of the private schools he applied. (even the one with 30% acceptance rate) i thought it was really sad. I was just wondering what could have happened...</p>
<p>thanks for everyone's input</p>
<p>Forget about citizenship. Say you're female, get in (works wonders for engineering schools) and then sue them for discrimination if they revoke your application. That's where all the real $$$ are.</p>
<p>good one...i realized the domestic scheme wouldn't work anyways since they want social security number</p>
<p>so are we required to supply proof if we list ourselves as native americans?</p>
<p>"native americans": US citizens or American Indians?</p>
<p>i think native americans are considered citizens due to one of the laws passed in the 1920s i think</p>
