<p>If you go down to the “International Students” tab, it says that they’re defined by immigration/visa status</p>

<p>I know you think it might be beneficial to be considered an international student, but it’s really not. As a US citizen, you are eligible to receive financial aid, and there are only a handful of schools, like the Ivies, that have a need-blind admissions policy for internationals. This basically means that if you’re not very wealthy, your inability to pay full tuition will be held against you in the admissions process, further lessening your chances of getting accepted.</p>
