I believe the OP is an American citizen. As such, he will be applying everywhere as an American citizen…not as an international student who is a citizen or another country.
BUT I believe his application for admission will be reviewed with others applying from where he lives overseas.
As an expat with instate residency, he will not be eligible for instate tuition status at any public university as long as his parents continue to reside overseas.
@carolinabr what do you mean by this statement:
If you have found a college that gives a price break to expats…Americans residing overseas…please do share.
At private universities, you will be paying the same cost of attendance as any other student who is accepted. You don’t get a price break for being an expat.
At public universities, you will be paying the out of state rate of tuition…again…being an American expat residing overseas gets you nothing for a price break.
