<p>I'm Indian by ethnicity, Norwegian by citizenship and by birth, but I graduated from an international school in S. Korea. I'm taking a gap-year and am residing in Norway at the moment, so with which group of students will I compete with? Koreans? Norwegians? Indians?</p>
<p>I would advise you to not put indian on your app (in the ethnicity area, just leave it blank). The top american universities get a lot of apps from indians, so that would probably put you at a disadvantage. Norwegian, on the other hand, is pretty rare.</p>
<p>If you are a Norwegian citizen, and you are currently living there, then I think they will consider you are an international from Norway. But I don't know what to tell you about the previous comment.</p>
<p>Thanks. I put country of birth and country of citizenship as norway, but had no choice but to put indian as the ethnicity. The colleges my mom and dad attended for their Bachelors and PhDs are Indian...and looking at my first and last names its obvious as well. I also mentioned my ethnicity last year when i applied RD.</p>
<p>But my question was from WHERE I will be considered and which applicant pool I'd be in.</p>
<p>The question asks for your ethnicity, and you said it. So put it. You can talk about your unique experience elsewhere.</p>
<p>I just got some bad news. found out that 2 students from the school I graduated from applied ED to Princeton this round. I graduated last year (early graduation), so would Princeton compare my stats with the applicants this year??</p>
<p>I think they would consider where you are residing now and where you went to high school since if they are looking for diversity, the country you live in and the kind of education you received matter more than simple ethnicity. I doubt your ethnicity is going to hurt you much since you don't seem to have spent a significant amount of time in india and will probably not be considered to be from india.</p>
<p>I just hope I dont have to compete with the korean pool! I'll be totally lost...</p>
