Non-US Citizen + Non-US Permanent resident ...

<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>

In the MIT freshman admissions process, you are considered an international applicant if you are not a citizen or a permanent resident (Green Card holder) of the United States.

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>
