<p>if im an applicant from Canada, is that an advantage? I speak both french and english fluently and i speak hebrew as well. I live in a bilingual city , so 2 languages are encouraged. Is this an advantage?</p>
<p>I think being an international in general is perceived as a disadvantage</p>
<p>it is, esp 3rd world countries---only like to take a few, if any</p>
<p>...except Canada isn't a 3rd world country : )</p>
<p>I think Canadian and Mexican citizens might be considered American... but I'm not sure...</p>
<p>lol mexican citizens considered american?</p>
<p>doubt it</p>
<p>I thought I read that somewhere... maybe it was for another university though...</p>
<p>y is it a disadvantage for 3rd world countries.... :( lol. </p>
<p>I dont even know what to think anymore. one minute, internationals are put in a different applicant pool....now third world countries are disadvantaged in the application process</p>
<p>thanks for all the answers!...just wondering, why is it a disadvantage to be an internationl applicant?</p>
<p>Because universities limit themselves to how many internationals they are going to accept, so you are competing against highly qualified people for a small number of spots.</p>
<p>and an even smaller spot if you need financial aid</p>
<p>Ernie, I think you're wrong... I am from Chile, and I am American too!</p>
<p>I don't like this thing that you do.. telling to the US people american, but like if they were all the continent... people in Latin America are also american people!</p>
<p>don't take it personal.. it's just something that bothers me...</p>
<p>pk12313: Not at Princeton :)</p>
<p>so, the bottom line is... being canadian isn't a disadvantage? well i know a couple of people who got into princeton last year.. and they weren't exceptionally amazing. hmmmmmm. btw, i am from canada.</p>
