Abhi, I totally see your point. I didn’t say ,however, that living outside of the US means that you have no oppurtunities and no chance of getting into a good college at all. Just think about what kind of achievement this Saudi Arabian kid could have attained if he had lived in the US. I think you can barely deny the fact that the US offers many more oppurtunities. Of course, you can do community service in, say, Germany as well. But very very few ppl do this, you’re less likely to have something like this on your application. In the US, however, soooo many ppl do it that it almost seems obligatory. So yea, I think you get my point now: The US will prep you better for college admission to top colleges. So getting is harder, but not impossible.
