<p>How do colleges look at high school athletes that are non-US citizens but live in the USA (Visa student)? Are they recruited the same way or is the procedure different?</p>
<p>Makes no difference as long as you’re eligible for a visa. Some teams recruit a lot more foreign than US students (e.g. USC women’s crew, Cornell men’s ice hockey).</p>
<p>^^and if you’re full pay from Serbia, or wherever the public universities in California, Michigan, etc will want you badly. They really need the money! It’s a bit of a problem in todays political climate to recruit a serbian rower to Cal (they have had several in the last few years) and give him a full ride plus air fare home every year! </p>
<p>The privates with money can still recruit you!</p>
