<p>... that's not equivalent to being an international student, right?
All I want to know is ... since I'm not a US citizen nor permanent-resident, can I still apply and just be thought of as an out-of-state student? or am I forced to report a Visa type and be regarded as an international student?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I believe you still count as an international applicant.</p>
<p>Well, if you are not a US citizen nor a permanent resident, most colleges will consider you as an international applicant–after all, that is the definition of international student used by most schools.</p>
<p>fsalazar90, according to the [MIT</a> Admissions: International Applicants](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/international_applicants_helpful_tips/index.shtml]MIT”>www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/international_applicants_helpful_tips/index.shtml) page,
From what you have posted here, you will be considered an international applicant.</p>
<p>And this is true for a lot of other schools, so be careful.</p>
<p>Thanks for your “find” mootmom!</p>
<p>Thanks mootmom, exactly what I needed. Surprised I hadn’t seen that; I recall browsing that page.</p>
