<p>Ana1 - what are you talking about? Just try to use some common sense and logic here, it is not that hard to figure this whole thing out. You are beating a dead horse.</p>
<p>Yes it is simple logic. “Third culture” kids can not be compared to their classmates in high school they are attending while applying. They are also in the same wagon as students attending a foreign HS for 1-2 years through one of the various exchange programs. My child had a student from Brazil, Egypt, and China who were there just for one year, during their senior year and had all applied to US colleges. Are we to assume that these students would be compared to the other US students in that HS just because they happened to be in the USA and attending a HS for the past 6 months before applying to college?</p>
<p>I’m sorry, I’ve read this thread and I don’t really understand…
I come from an Asian country, but I left my homeland when I was 10, when my father received a job offer in the Middle East. I’ve lived in 3 countries since then, and I am currently attending an international school in Europe… would I be compared to my classmates in my homeland? The educational system is really different there…</p>
<p>You’ll be compared to whomever it makes sense to compare you to.</p>
