<p>well as you all know this is under international students.
i am an international student who was born in china but have Canadian citizenship and is currently living in US.
i just want to know because i am unfamiliar still with the college applications, what are my competitions. well since i am international, and most ivys have their international people limited to around 10% or their acceptance, i want to know what kind of people im competing against.
i am fully aware that international doesnt mean people straight from China, or like "true" internationals. i would like to know if there are really many people like me who are Canadians or from Europe or sumthing who speaks fluent english, doesnt have to take tofel.
so, are there lots of people like me who have a english speaking country's citizen and just moved to US for college?
or am i truly up against true internationals</p>
<p>i think they group people by location of high school.</p>
<p>I believe you are, considering that you think of yourself as "fluent" in English, but you make mistakes like "what are my competition". Although having Canadian citizenship might help you with financial aid (if you need it), there are a lot of qualified students from China applying to top schools, and you might be often compared to them.</p>
<p>I would think that you'd still be grouped as international, but you get a heck more of FA at some schools (Brown). I don't know about your chances though.</p>
<p>Fun info, Canada is the most well represented country @ USC. ^o^</p>
<p>Canadian students are still internationals in most universities but I think I saw something on Princeton's website where they put Americans and Canadians in the same category for admissions...correct me if I'm wrong. :)</p>
<p>I'm a Canadian myself, but from Quebec, so I have to pass the TOEFL.</p>
<p>I guess a number of universities would group Canadians the same category as Americans. Saw a lot of such cases.</p>
<p>yeah sorry for my grammar mistakes
internet lingo not really english papers eh?</p>
<p>Whether you're typing using internet lingo or writing English papers, good grammar is good grammar.</p>
