<p>i am a us citizen as in passportholder living outside us. my family is all south asian. my sibling and i were born there. my ethnicity is south asian.</p>
<p>i passed my o level in 2010 with 8 A* (90+) and a world highest in mathematics under cie (cambridge international education). for a levels i have taken mathematics, physics, chemistry and further mathematics. unfortunately i have not had any extracurricular activities other than football and a few community service programs. what sat and sat subject test score will i require to have a chance do i have of getting into the aforementioned university? and will i be considered an intenational student or an american one? and would it hamper my chances if i apply for 2013 after finishing a levels in 2012?</p>
<p>Without any ECs, probably at least 2300.</p>
<p>Do at least 3 hard SAT IIs and score at least 750+ in all of them. And start building up your ECs now…</p>
<p>anyways if this has any value, i have stood 1st in 100m race and long jump in my high school in 2011. and country highest with a high distinction in science in international assessment of schools conducted by university of new south wales. and a distinction in mathematics. i also have stood 2nd in two physics olympiads in 2010 and 2009.</p>
<p>My advice: do some major community service and try researching with some professors. That way you could show some character and depth in the applicacion.</p>
<p>You are a US citizen living abroad. This means that your academic record, ECs, etc. will be evaluated in the light of what is normal in that particular environment (just like with “true” international applicants). What the citizenship status means for you is that you are considered a US applicant for financial aid purposes. You are eligible to file the FAFSA, and you can take out federally determined student loans. You also can work and live anywhere you please in the US because you don’t need a visa. If you are male, you are required to register with the Selective Service, but you can do that when you file the FAFSA so it isn’t a big deal.</p>
<p>The universities on your list are fully familiar with the O and A level exams. Check their individual websites to see whether or not you even need to take the ACT/SAT/etc. Do check the websites to see if you need to take the TOEFL.</p>
<p>You should take the time to 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 closest to where you live. They are the experts at helping students educated in your country of residence find good places to study in the US. If no one in that office has worked with a US citizen recently, they have colleagues in other offices who have.</p>
<p>There are a number of US citizens living abroad who have posted here at CC in the past year or so. Some of them are already studying in the US. When I get a moment, I will send the list to you as a PM.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
