<p>Um, hopefully you know that if you have American citizenship, you count as a domestic student <em>always</em>.</p>

<p>In this case, you would be just another OOS student.</p>

<p>Well I hope you’re not classifying yourself as an international student for schools with international quota caps.</p>

<p>galoisien is correct you are not an international student. If the folks can vote in our elections and have an American passport you are an American citizen and without a doubt your parents would have a legal residence somewhere in the US. Many students get this mixed up, just like they confuse it with having a green card, this makes you an American citizen for the purpose of college.</p>

<p>You are in for OOS</p>

4

<p>you are not “in” for OOS. In fact, your stats are low in comparison to many in state applicants, and you’re OOS. Your GPA is low when you average all 4 years and your ECs are commendable, but not outstanding. Can you estimate a class rank?</p>

5

<p>my class rank estimation leaves me at 24/210
just out of top 10%</p>

<p>do you guys think ill get in or not?</p>

6

<p>I think youre a good candidate, really quite similar to me actually but I’m female and my writing and verbal sats are a little higher, math is the exact same.</p>

<p>Hopefully you’re qualified and get it, because that bodes well for me</p>
