U.S citizen currently studying aboard. international or freshman ?

<p>HI all ! I am new here and I have some burning question regrading the College Admission in US.</p>

<p>I am a US citizen but I am currently taking high school courses at Singapore. If I am to attend Singapore university , I will be taking the GCE A LEVEL examination which is about the same as the SAT in US.</p>

<p>The question is , if I wanted to return to US and enroll to US college without going through high school again , then am I considered as a International student or freshman ? </p>

<p>What do I need to submit other than the SAT scores ?</p>

<p>I have relatives at US but my parents are not US citizen and they are not living in US. Then which state am I in ? Will I qualify to apply for in-state tuition ?</p>

<p>If you are a US citizen you will probably not be considered international.</p>

<p>You are unlikely to qualify for in state tuition because most States require you and your parents to have been residing in the State for at least a year, often 2, prior to enrolling in College.</p>

<p>Okay, from what I know... You will be considered an American citizen when you apply to US colleges, but your app will actually go to the international admissions office.</p>

<p>So, you sort of get a win-win. You get the added bonus of having the international experience, but you don't have to compete with the international applicant pool, which I would say is more competitive since there are fewer spots for them in college.</p>

<p>Correct me if I'm wrong though.</p>

<p>thanks for the replies .. =)</p>
