<p>Calz, We are also an international family. My son who had similar background to you was accepted by Williams ED. </p>
<p>Williams, like many LACs, values international living experience highly for what these kids can bring to the campus community.
It is a substantial hook. You should be sure to feature this aspect of your experience in your essays. </p>
<p>As an American living abroad you get a double benefit: The schools see it as a way to achieve cultural diversity without having to worry about language and visa problems. </p>
<p>Of the colleges on your list Williams is definitely the most selective. If after you visit (and IF finances are not an issue for your family) </p>
<p>Williams is your first choice you might want to consider applying ED as this is a clear advantage. Middlebury, Macalester, Grinnell, Carleton, WUSTL are next in selectivity, but I couldnt rank them. I do know that Macalester and Grinnell are very friendly to third culture kids.</p>
