I finished all of my college application a few months ago basically, but one question just popped up my mind and made me curious.
How does U.S. college determine which country you are from if you are a dual citizen?
I’m a Canadian Taiwanese (or Taiwanese Canadian) born in Canada and currently residing in Taiwan.
My school is an American School in Taiwan for foreigners only and it offers a U.S. high school diploma, assisted by the U.S. Department of the States.

When I was filling up the common application, I filled these information up in the citizenship and birthplace sections.
But after all, do they put me in the pool of Canadian or Taiwanese?

I don’t think it matters much for admission, as both will be an international student status, but I’m just very curious about this.
