I wouldn’t call it a distinct advantage per se, because I’m in for financial aid at any institution I study in on the basis of the fact that I own an American passport. But in colleges where financial aid is limited to US citizens, then yes, I guess I’d be.
As for the whole global perspective thing, I think I’m fair game, though I’m hoping that if I’m weighed against another international with similar statistics, I’d get chosen because hey, I’m American, and I think in the end, US universities would like to bump up their American numbers as much as they can without compromising diversity.
